Could be good but ruined by oncall.

Pros

- Majority of people are friendly and helpful. - Dependent on team, some technologies are cutting edge. - Good benefits. - Particularly good stock.

Cons

- Oncall is brutal. You will often be paged for things you can't fix or prevent, be expected to respond AND determine user impact within 10 minutes at any time day or night, and receive no additional remuneration (including TOIL). - Dependent on team, you may be stuck with very legacy and long out of support tech. - Bureaucratic, slow and messy processes. - You may need to obtain external licenses, a convoluted process that is not made clear before joining and not supported well by the business. - It can be a morally difficult industry.

Pros

Good pay Good health benefits

Cons

There appears to be a significant disconnect between senior leadership and frontline teams, contributing to a culture where open feedback is discouraged. Employees often feel reluctant to voice concerns, as those who do may face negative consequences, including termination. The organizational structure fosters an insular dynamic, where advancement and recognition seem more dependent on alignment with a close-knit executive group than on measurable performance or contribution. This perception undermines motivation and morale among high-performing individuals. Human Resources is generally seen as unapproachable and disengaged, with limited responsiveness to employee issues or requests for support. The company’s bonus structure has also shifted noticeably over time. Where bonuses were once fully paid, they are now subject to frequently changing targets and eligibility rules. In some cases, payouts have been replaced with multi-year vesting equity arrangements, disproportionately impacting certain levels of staff.
