Pros

The company has several advantages worth mentioning. Firstly, there is ample opportunity for career advancement, allowing employees to quickly progress to higher positions. Additionally, the company offers competitive compensation, ensuring good pay for its employees. Moreover, they provide computers/laptops to facilitate work efficiency. What sets this company apart is the exceptional dedication of certain Directors/Managers who go above and beyond to support and train their team members. Furthermore, the company exhibits flexibility and understanding when it comes to accommodating doctor's appointments and personal matters. By communicating with your manager and scheduling appropriately, leaving your desk for a short period is not an issue. Lastly, the holiday schedule is remarkable, granting employees time off for major holidays and an extended period during the holiday season.

Cons

To begin, there are a few notable Directors/Managers who excel in their roles. However, there are others who frequently take time off, proving inaccessible when needed, displaying a delayed response to emails, and lacking respect and professionalism when dealing with clients. Regrettably, the company operates as a family-run business, resulting in a lack of accountability and overlooked responsibilities that ultimately detriment the clients. Questionable practices within the company raise concerns about job stability. The owner's expectations, given the recent layoffs that affected half the company, appear unrealistic. Consequently, the workload has increased while compensation and staff numbers have decreased.

Pros

I value that I'm not micromanaged and have autonomy. I value the number of holidays and lenience when I need to book a holiday at the last minute. I value the relaxed work atmosphere

Cons

No, but if I had the opportunity to review the other departments and everyone's responsibilities maybe I'd have some input there.

Pros

"I am a person that naturally works hard to meet a deadline - I feel this is something that is respected by both my supervisor as well as those in other teams/levels of management. I also enjoy the product we are making, the market it serves, and feel some pride in making the product better over time. "

Cons

There isn't a whole lot in terms of culture or interactivity between teams. Teams can feel very siloed off from each other. It can be a little strange to work for at a company for many years without ever knowing much of what other team members work on or what value they are adding in a company where every role is incredibly important for the company to succeed.
