Pros

Addictive Mobility is one of the few Media high tech shops left in Toronto. If you are looking for a technology position there is plenty this company will tech you. low latency redundant bare metal infrastructure setup, lots and lots of servers. big (really big) data processing, machine learning, open source tools, python, nodejs. It is hands on, built right there by the guy sitting next to you. The technology is their competitive edge. The company is still small enough that you will have real responsibilities and be expected to make an impact. For operations roles the companies technology is able to reach every smart phone on the planet. You get to be at the control panel of this technology. And you can market products all over the world from the comfort of your desk how cool is that ! You also get to say, oh yeah that movie is coming out next week. I know that cause I'm managing the mobile campaign. The company is respected in it's field and is seen as a leader and innovator. The staff are funny I still laugh when I remember the funny moments had. It was a good place to work. I'm happy I can say I used to be part of it. The COO is handsome. The company is a late stage start up. The company is growing fast.

Cons

The company is a late stage start up. The company is growing fast.

Pros

-Company Outings -Location -Plenty of Drama (if you're into that sort of thing)

Cons

Where to begin. The weekly free lunches went to Monthly in hopes of creating a more "connected" atmosphere with the employees. However this hasn't seemed to work and more than likely it was a cost cutting measure. The company is a mess. While upper management claims they care little to no interest has been shown. It's a very egotistical environment where if you're not chums with someone in upper management good luck moving ahead. Within the past several months we've lost a lot of key people within the company who decided to go else where. The workload is unrealistic and the disconnect between departments is huge. The company still has a "start up mentality" only in the form of paying its employees. Pay is well below the market rate of other similar companies. The expansion of the company into three other world wide markets has essentially failed as there is no accountability for anyone outside of the main Toronto office. Interns and new employees are brought on with false information and quickly become burned out. The negativity from the Sales department is toxic and affects other departments. The CEO has very little knowledge to the day to day workings of his company. the COO never follows up with anything or anyone. So upper management has people or they themselves write positive reviews here. don't believe the hype. I will be quitting very soon.
