As long as the current managers and directors are here, nothing will improve. - Anonymous employee Shomi Employee Review

Fast paced environment investing big in technology and agile. Everyone working together towards a common goal. We really believe in doing the right thing and give the customer the best. Huge changes in the last year in technology and people as it moved from being a Rogers department to a full independent company. A lot of new blood with cool and funky ideas, and a few exits of folks that were more comfortable with being Rogers type employees instead of a startup culture that management is trying to create and evolve to. Management willing to invest in new technologies. New agile culture finally giving employee space to shine. Marketing and content is awesome. Worked a few years in the media industry and never seen this kind of investment in content and marketing. They are serious about winning the market.

More focus required. The pace can be a little crazy. Too many priorities when you are trying to compete against Netflix, Cravetv, and a lot of newcomers in over the top world. Technology started in the wrong side but finally moving to a healthy state. Few choices made years ago that did not work properly and now need to be changed due to scale and quality issues. There is a lot of work in tech, more than we have hands for.

- Fantastic tech stack - Open to ideas - Tech minions are great - First half of the year was great - did great projects - major renovations and steps in the right direction - Lots of perks (nerf guns, parties, breakfast deployments, paid parking for deployments, paid mileage for deployments, RRSP, free personal shomi) - Most seniors are funny and great people with great advice for career life - Pretty easy to get time off

- some tech leads were hired not based on skill set but on favour - You can't take more than 2 weeks off - You get judged by your age not your skill - Raises are substandard. Don't trust word of mouth, get everything on paper. - Your professional advice means nothing if you don't have the years; my advice is tell a senior and the senior will tell his senior, who will tell his senior. - You may not like the atmosphere if you come from a formal background some people don't wear shoes or socks - You many not like nerf guns but they use whistling ones and some just randomly end up hitting you
