Pros

It's in the heart of downtown Toronto in the swanky King West neighbourhood. Snacks, Foosball, Board games, Ski Trips and Poker nights are among the normal fare. Great restaurants nearby and Friday lunches are nice to have. Business hours are also from 10 to 6 which is great for not having to deal with heavy subway traffic.

Cons

Lots of broken promises, and favouritism towards employees who like to get drunk after work and hang out on the weekends. Not everyone has the time nor interest in doing so, but not doing so will paint you in a bad light. Many who have departed either by their own volition or by management have complained about favoritism. Perks consists of great benefits, device plans, and a 5 week vacation. Five weeks is great but what they don't tell you is that personal and sick days are also included in this batch. If you're looking for a company where you are measured by your performance, this isn't your company and you won't be satisfied. You'll also be expected to work weekends for free.

Pros

Great place to be early in your career, with good responsibility and fun coworkers your age. Use as a learning period then start looking for better opportunities.

Cons

Slower, less engaging work (could be a pro though); management cultivates an odd greeklife-eqsue social environment that can limit opportunities for people who don't buy in; pay well below industry standard and minimal benefits
