Great Place to Work

Pros

Excellent engineering team with solid market focussed products and lots of opportunity to work with interesting new technlogies. Location in Kanata with free parking is actually a plus for me, but I can see how others could see the location differently..

Cons

Mix of onshore and offshore teams sometimes interferes with high bandwidth agile communications, but company recognizes this and is dealing with improving offshore/onshore interaction proactively.

Pros

The people at Signiant are excellent. Everyone is extremely competent and good at what they do. The company recently switched to Agile, which further improved work environment and helped with workload management. The company has a well engineered and mature family of products and is also not afraid to start new and exciting projects. The salaries for strong contributors are quite competitive.

Cons

There are no deal-breaker downsides to working at Signiant. Their location - Kanata instead of Ottawa downtown could be considered a downside by some. The building they are in doesn't have any shower facilities, which doesn't encourage biking to work or working out at lunch time. Their office space itself is a bit shabby, but they are in the process of improving it. Even though the health benefits are there, they have been getting worse as of recent. Moreover, there are no RSP employer contributions or bonuses for developers, which would be a huge nice-to-have. Having said all that, none of these issues are deal-breakers and the pluses of working with extremely motivated and cool people on interesting projects and earning a very good salary mostly outweigh the few minuses I can think of.

Pros

Small company, some good people. The Technology is ok. Working the name brand accounts is fun.

Cons

The technology probably won't go very far. Concentrating on media only is limiting.
