      Beware of corporate culture

      Director
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good compensation, company is in a growth mode, innovative business. Very good benefits, including home loans for execs. Good bonus payouts in years the company is doing well. Good Board of Directors - smart savvy people who are interested in the Company...

      Cons

      Long hours, bad culture, passive-aggressive people. Thinking outside the box is not encouraged at all - Senior Management not very coordinated. Their talk is different from their walk - especially the CEO, Ken Wilcox. The IT sucks - no access to latest technologies like access to Messager, internet email etc.. .. There is a lot of favouritism and fiefdoms's exist in almost all departments. Only reason for working here is that the COmpany is doing well even in a bad environment.
