Pros

Beautiful office in downtown Vancouver Free gym pass Easy commute in and out of the city

Cons

The absolute worst management team I have ever encountered in my professional life. All decisions are made by a single person at the 'top of the food-chain'. Regularly employees are subject to public berating, verbally abusive language and fear-mongering. Everyone at the company has been cowed into believing that this type of behaviour is normal, and are too scared to lose their jobs to do anything about it. There is essentially no Human Resources department, no training periods for new employees, no corporate culture and no commeraderie. The amount of red tape encountered when trying to push a project through is abysmal at best. The employee turnover rate is SHOCKINGLY high - it's actually insane. This is the absolute worst place I've ever worked. I would NEVER recommend it to anyone.

Pros

1. Great office location in Gastown. Free gym membership. Great shower with free towel service. 2. Awesome co-workers. I made more friends here than previous jobs. 3. Free coffee!!! 4. I learned a lot in a short amount of time I worked there.

Cons

1. High turnover. REALLY, REALLY, HIGH. Don't get comfy here. Keep your options open. 2. CEO had a very bad temper. When he's in the office, the morale is really LOW! 3. Timelines were very hectic. High pressure to perform and deliver in very short timeframes. 4. Salary a bit low for the industry. I took a pay cut so I could just get employed. 5. They hired a bad contracting company full of high paid consultants to re-develop their core product (MyWurld Travel Platform). These consultants just milked the company but delivered a really bad product.
