Pros

Smith has some great projects, some terrific co-workers, and a attractive office space. Most of the gap between culture / business expertise / approach that separates the Gatineau and Seattle offices has been resolved and reduced; it's no longer two distinct companies.

Cons

*There's an intense amount of scrutiny and micromanaging of every thought and action of the employees; and yet, a complete lack of transparency from upper management and little or no engagement with senior management. For most employees, SMITH's culture is one of perpetual fear due to years of consistent, frequent layoffs.

Pros

Nothing positive I can recall

Cons

Family business with highly political environment. Promoting full time employees with college degrees and limited industry knowledge, to management roles. The main goal of that guys, is to keep contractors on the leash. Humiliate contractors and make their lives miserable , so they will perform better. Management changing contractors faster that socks. Every your step is watched and if your manager or team lead will complain, you will be shown the door immediately without a word.

Always in rush mode. No time to learn technology/concepts before applying them leading to lengthier and bad implementation No clear development process Not good at setting customer expectation and controlling project cost
