Pros

Ownership, fast-pace, young energetic interns from Waterloo mainly

Cons

Management quality varies significantly across teams. Leadership often feels reactive rather than thoughtful. The culture can reward confidence and speed more than empathy, mentorship, or sustainable engineering practices. Diversity and immigration support need meaningful improvement. Some conversations around money, background, and career priorities can feel insensitive. Engineering work may be heavily product/frontend-oriented, with limited technical depth depending on the team. Full-time engineers may not always have a clear growth path, especially compared with the company’s strong intern hiring pipeline. Not the best fit for engineers looking for deep systems work, stable mentorship, or a mature management culture.
