Good technology / decent culture

Pros

Decent supply chain planning technology. Culture is fine. People are pleasant, just clueless outside their narrow niche of own technology.

Cons

Project management/implementation approach rely heavily on small-group methods. This usually works for non-complex projects but falls apart where lots of parties/internal politics involved (like large corporations, which Kinaxis need for growth). This is compensated by working longer hours and bringing more people. Needless to say, this does not help a whole lot on fixed bid engagements... Your key to success is to have RapidResponse experience acquired outside of Kinaxis as inhouse development program is not effective at all.

Pros

One of the more challenging environments that I've worked in. I'm always working with the latest technologies, with some very smart people. I'd say the best thing is the yearly Hackathon where, for a week, we get to work on whatever we want. They are also respectful of work/life balance. I'd say I'm working with the best people I've ever worked with. I've been trying to get some people to leave their jobs to come here for a while.

Cons

The subject matter of "Supply Chain" is not the sexiest topic to discuss when people ask me what I do. Also, I have to walk two floors to get the free pop.

Pros

"Learn, laugh and share" is Kinaxis motto and working here proves it. I've been constantly learning new things since my arrival and it is a warm and welcoming environment. Development is very challenging but you will take a good experience out of it.

Cons

Located in Kanata, it is quite a drive
