So long as Jill Tipping is the CEO steer clear of BC Tech - Tech Specialist BC Tech Association Employee Review

• Highly ambitious organization. There is constant challenge, enough to keep you on your toes and the job exciting. • Highly energetic and tight knit teams who strongly believe in the org's vision. • You are in the forefront of current business conversations. Great opportunity to foster the tech community and network. • Work / life balance.

• ~66% turned over within a year and a half (10 people in a staff of about 15). Average term is one year or less. • As driven as you may be, support to be successful in your role is extremely limited. Sink or swim, cutthroat culture. One example: finding half an hour--even 10 mins--on a given week with sr. manager to have a focused discussion is a consistent challenge. It's rarely achieved. But expectations remain sky high. • Heavily (!) top down structure. • No performance review processes, 360s, regular feedback loops. Career development discussions are cunningly parried. They're strictly limited to one person within the org that's hand picked for grooming.

When I started the company culture was great. It was super fun, exciting, and welcoming. That was what really drew me into working there. They were full of young, like-minded people where helping to grow the tech ecosystem was on the top of their list. - benefits are really good - vacation time

- management - in order to grow, it had to be done by accident or they had to see your potential but it had to be up to their standards even if you strongly felt like you were ready to move up - you'd volunteer to help with the transition of something and be forgotten about - they say the listen to feedback and concerns, but nothing would ever be done about it - high turnover rates - no recognition
