Pros

I think that being paid and having a job is good. UBC is beautiful but far. The benefits cover eyecare.

Cons

-Turnover has tended to be less than 1 year for most employees due to the stress of passive aggressive, underhanded management tactics. I witnessed 4 people quit within my time at a 10-15 person company, then 3 people laid off within a year. That is almost half of the employees. Do not expect to stay here for very long, as it seems to be a temporary occupation for most. -Conspiracy theories about ex employees take up lots of energy and time. -Always blaming employees and never regarding any personal fault on the employers end. -Plenty of favoritism for certain employees. -Interpersonal issues with management that are incredibly unprofessional and anxiety inducing for most people who I have worked with. -Very hard to navigate or understand what tasks are, because there are no given tasks. -Management seems confused and is difficult to understand. -Passive aggressive remarks, talking behind employees backs, threats to revoke vacation. -Expectations are to produce things daily, but no tasks are given which creates stress on employees to make things up when there are no real tasks even given. -Management blaming ex employees for most issue within company and discusses it with current employees, which is unprofessional and makes it clear that all blame is always external. -The atmosphere when management enters the workplace is extremely tense, anxious, and tends to be demeaning.

-Great NRC office located at UBC -The team members are very supportive. They tried their best to give me all the information I may need, what kind of work style I should expect etc. -I get to learn more programming languages while working.

Cons

-There is no team leader and projects are ran separately from one another. -UBC is kinda far to drive to...... T_T
