Employees are disposable to them

Pros

Some great people work there (but probably not for long)

Cons

Mass layoffs happened twice in one year with no warning. The people put in charge of teams are incompetent and blame their short comings on their team. Team leaders siloed their team members, poorly managed their projects, and blindsided them with layoffs, seemingly at random. The culture here is definitely sexist. Not a safe place for a woman to work. HR ignores the majority of issues.

Pros

- Genuinely nice, interesting and passionate people to work with. - Able to work in various areas from Front-End to Back-End to DevOps, or all of the above. - Exposure and experience with a variety of languages and technologies. - Projects and work can be diverse and interesting including things outside Front-End and Back-End development, like R&D, integrations, microservices, PWAs, UI/UX design and more. - Work remote or in office in several provinces; great flexibility. - The new agile teams helped solve a lot of problems from the old waterfall style structure and process.

Cons

- Communication from upper management isn't great. - Multiple mass layoffs and pushing back company wide meetings to discuss the overall state of the company; the state of the company didn't seem so dire because there was no communication to indicate as such. If anything the partnership with Backlight appeared to be a saving grace. - Asking for help either gets you on a call with the dev who has ownership over a section of the code or no one responds, or even worse no one takes any ownership over that section of code, and you have to figure it out yourself. - A lot of the work is self directed but can be difficult for the interns who need mentorship, direction and feedback. Intermediate developers would likely enjoy the environment more. - Distinct lack of documentation in code and outside. Some documentation exists but overall pretty lacking; makes it very difficult to onboard new developers when there is nothing they can draw on for support or insight.
