Vantaggi
I enjoyed my co-workers a lot. There are some very smart and thoughtful people here who I loved working with. The flexibility to work 100% remotely from another province was nice. My manager also gave me lots of autonomy and trust, which was incredibly empowering and motivating.
Svantaggi
The interview process was extremely long and drawn out, only for me to be completely surprised by a no-warning layoff just six months into the role. I was assured it was not performance-related, so it's very strange I was so quickly let go after so much time and effort was invested in getting me up to speed. It seemed like a very short-sighted and wasteful tactic to take, especially as my team was producing genuinely stellar results for the company. In the same vein, the leadership team talks a lot about teamwork and no ego, but they do not walk the talk. There is no long-term vision and priorities shift on a dime. -The turnover is crazy, even for the tech sector -The company often felt like a boy's club. There was rarely an intentional attempt to prioritize diversity and accessibility. The HR team does its best to promote team building and a robust workplace culture, but they have zero support from leadership to do so effectively.
