Pros

Salary is ok but not great

Cons

Do not expect professional behaviour - behaviour is based on politics and assumptions ( if joining in Toronto, most probably you may have to deal with a psycho too ) - may be this is expected in a small company ? but believe me its worse here. Third world level culture/behaviour in Canada. Grew quickly from 200 or so employees, so core employees remain un professional / untrained in their behaviour and try playing politics Not even a single process is at acceptable level in this company. If you try to correct them, you will be shunned. No development work in Toronto - its all professional service work as a consultant and you will be treated as a consultant not a developer. Don’t expect permanent work from home You will be lied to about benefits

Pros

One of the best jobs I've ever had. Unfortunately my role got cut due to layoffs but I would have stayed here for years if that weren't the case. Great autonomy to employees, great collaboration, communication and organization. Good leadership.

Cons

Unexpected rounds of layoffs, but it was the case in tech for a while.
