Pros
- If you're in Markham, it will be better if you're hired on In-store or PixelPoint team, if you're being hired for Integrations team, you can happily reject the offer.
Cons
- They talk really big about "Culture" in the Integrations team but it's nothing just seeking validation for your entire existence from a group of 3-4 people (one of whom is also racist) - If this group of people happen to like you then you can survive as they will always have your back. But, if they don't like you, you're in for hell. - The team environment is way too competitive, the mentality is "who finishes more tasks in current sprint?" - It is always expected for you to work much more than 8 hours. A typical day will look like 12-15 hours. - Senior developers generally make junior developers look bad before the manager for their own benefit or to make themselves look the best on the team. - Manager is extremely biased and always only listens to this group of people and will never listen to your side if you fall under the category of this group not liking you. - Testing team has testers who don't work for most of the day and always try too hard to seek validation from this group. So in case this group does not like you, the tester in question will make you look the worst dev in the team. - There is no place for exploring different technologies whatsoever. - This team only cares about their reputation before San Diego team and wants the San Diego team to think Integrations is worlds best team. - The manager of this and the product owner happen to be really close and friends also ex-colleagues and the product owner's attitude generally states that "i own you" and anything i will convey to the manager will be the final decision (this is true since the manager listens to this person way too much).
