Pros

Interesting subject matter and a great location in Toronto.

Cons

The company used to hire the best of the best. These days a heart beat suffices, especially for those pursuing managerial positions. My manager had no degree or risk/it technology experience. Lifers and the ever desperate folks who return on their hands and knees inhibit creativity, growth, and productivity in a space which once prided itself on thriving on all the above.

Pros

* Flexible hours. * Opportunity to learn a lot for junior staff. * In general, people are very polite. * In general, people will share some knowledge.

Cons

* Lack of planning and management. * Salary is acceptable to low, compared to similar companies in the same industry. * No work life balance, * No opportunity to advance, unless you've spent a long time with the company. * Very few Software Engineers are actually good. * No code reviews, virtually no communication, isolation. * Most employees don't really understand how their work impact the business, they just write code.
