Pros

- Fun co-workers - Casual Dress

Cons

- 60 + hour weeks - 1/3 of team is incompetent - If you do great work, you will be expected to do work for the incompetent people - Management Flip-Flops decisions on a weekly to daily basis - Management is too scared to stand up to incompetent people - Team is in a constant state of flux, if a major disaster were to ever happen, the team would fall apart - Management never sets goals for the future, but would rather always take the "band aid" approach instead of the preventive approach - New technologies, techniques and/or ideas are never accepted - Weekend work is always expected, and managers never say "Thank You" - Removal of all incentives that were given previously (Food, complements, and bonuses) To make a long story short, this place is like a sweat shop. While this might be great for money making short term, a company structure like this cannot function long term.

Pros

The Pay is decent and some of the people are great to hang out with after work. Middle Management is supportive Company has given out annual bonuses since I have been employed here

Cons

Upper Management is unsupportive and demanding. The general consensus is that there is no work life balance. It's all work and nothing else. The company consistently fails in providing goals that are clear to the entire company. There is a huge shortage of employees in all departments, but only the PM group is actively being recruited for. The quality of the product produced by UBC is lacking because staff are not given enough time to effectively complete projects.
