Pros

The CEO must be a magician. To think this company is still doing business - with chronic financial mismanagement, a socially inept leadership team who are territorial and created a toxic work culture and a remaining workforce that 'survived' constant layoffs with the scars to prove it- is simply amazing.

Cons

There are none, if you enjoy working long hours doing the work of 3 of your past colleagues, no prospect of upward mobility; If you enjoy working from the office where you are expected to be there everyday before 8:30 and leave after 5:30, but watch your CEO and leadership team come and go as they please, are inaccessible - except when they need you - then this company will be paradise.

Great people being driven away from sinking company

Pros

People are friendly and approachable and a lot of teamwork and dedication (staff not company)

Cons

- Virtually no pay rise and bonus is pathetic. Also everyone gets the same so ability/ efforts are wasted. - They dont replace staff that have left and just make others absorb their work. - Zero training, oversight and support. - Because of the lack of training junior staff are useless meaning you end up doing their jobs too. Oh and don’t bother complaining because management will defend them and tell you to train them. No-one is ever fired or fails probation. - Not enough people or knowledge to run projects meaning the quality of work is poor which is frustrating. - No info from senior management and very secretive environment. Its clear the company is in trouble but they wont tell anyone what is going on. - As per other reviews yes they did announce you could no longer carry over PTO at the end of Dec when many people already had holidays booked. - Everyone is chronically stressed, crying and taking sick leave. Leaving the company felt like escaping an abusive relationship (really!), you cant leave because they need you but you also cannot cope staying there. Very sad.

I made some very good friends

Cons

Upon starting at UBC I was given a terminated employees employee number so none of my benefits were available to me. This went on for over two months.
