Pros

+Great office +Free cheap snacks +Good culture +Great for people just graduating +Benefits are great for halifax +Great place to see out a career if you never want to excel, are fine with bad pay and high-school politics

Cons

+Mid-range and Senior staff receive insultingly low pay and many bs stories to justify the pay until they threaten to quit, then the pay goes to industry standard for the area. +High-school grade nepotism and politics are played among management and executives +Management pressures employees to submit positive glassdoor and game reviews +Benefits pale in comparison to other companies (no christmas bonus? no stock options? no profit sharing?) +Extremely corrupt team lead and management layer. Success by sucking up rather than being decent people and good at your job. +An abnormally high number of rumours that can actually be substantiated by consistently similar recollections from various employees of how execs harassed/discriminated against/forced away past employees +"Rocking the boat" ends up in cliques of seniors and managers teaming up on a person and getting them fired. Execs play along.

Pros

- The people working there are great. Bright, responsible, fun & personable. - Good location. Office is bright & open, convenient for travel. - Supportive. RS can help you with education and let you try things you haven't done before, you just need to ask and make a good case for it. - Free snacks & coffee, a small gym, saunas, computer purchase plan and healthy living benefits.

Cons

- Salary. You will be paid less than other places. that's just how they operate. - Growing pains. A formerly small company really struggling to grow up, flips back-and-forth between marketing itself as a successful small business or an up-and-coming corporation. - Management. Very large disconnect between your average employee and company management. Made worse by the obscene imbalance of responsibilities granted to PMs which occupy the spot of middle management in a "flat company" - Priorities. It is normal to have clients get away with much more than is average in client work, especially new clients. Management will take care of the client first, their own people second. Projects have started & completed before a Statement of Work or Acceptance Criteria have been signed. But the office has a slide!
