Pros

There are good benefits for the company. 15 days holidays. Happy Hour Fridays. Town Hall available for company updates. Better deals for TTC pass, cineplex tickets, and so on.

Cons

Management is always a rush when trying to launch something. Marketing / Channel Marketing seems to be disorganized. Teams are so disconnected from each other as if they do not care what other teams are doing.

Pros

Free ebook every week, good benefits, free lunch every day if you’re in the office.

Cons

Extremely siloed to the point where people in the same team don’t even communicate. A lot of people that are hired are not fit for the role they are hired for. A lot of favortism, same people getting recognition over and over again even for mediocre work. They try to sell this image of being a friendly brand/company to work for but there is a good amount of hostility, cliques and politics within the org that make it difficult to navigate. Pay is not competitive.
