Pros

- Near SkyTrain, close to main artery highways. - Nice co-workers (not managers). - Not bankrupted yet - Top senior engineers (probably 3-4 of them) are paid very well. These are the ones holding the company together

Cons

- Unqualified managers and directors. Keep adding more complicated process to manage the people who don't want to be there rather than trying to help the people who are working their tail off. - 0 work/life balance. C-level executives overworked and freaked out at other employees in the middle of an open office for everyone to see. - CEO will burst into the room and demand changes to be deployed with 0 notice. People end up working late with no pay. - Nonsensical internal promotion structure. People get promoted because they are liked by upper management or are past buddies. - Fake culture with forced participation in activities. - No direction: big priorities change on a few times a day based on mood or what is promised to the board the night before despite it being planned 2 weeks ago. - Slow career growth which doesn't even makes sense: you get promoted if you keep quiet and agree on everything, no matter how wrong. After promotion, you're still doing the same thing. "Title promotion" - #FakeNews Human Resource trying to post fake positive review and get real negative reviews removed. This is a 1.5 star company at best and at worst -10 stars. - Fake, non-existent human resource who is not there for you. - Daily office politics where backstabbing and putting other people down to get ahead is common practice. - Product Roadmap is: "Copy what WayFair does". This isn't innovation. If you're looking to build something exciting, you're looking at the wrong place.

Pros

Flexibility, allows for healthy work life balance

Cons

Nothing gets done (projects), low accountability, CEO is disconnected with employees, pay is awful and is rarely adjusted after first year, lots of empty promises and excuses from leadership, lots of problems internally that do not get prioritized for fixes. Really poor place to work if you want to grow in your career and maintain a competitive salary
