Pros

You sit and enjoy for some period of time untill you realize there are no projects and you are gonna kicked off soon,

Cons

The company currently has very limited project availability, with most employees assigned to a single active project. As a result, many team members remain on the bench for extended periods—sometimes for years—without meaningful work or clear timelines for deployment. This creates uncertainty and low morale across teams. The organization appears to follow a strict hire-and-fire policy, which adds to job insecurity, especially for those waiting long periods without project allocation. There is minimal transparency around project pipelines or workforce planning, making career growth and stability difficult for employees seeking long-term opportunities. Overall, the lack of project diversity and structured resource planning significantly impacts employee experience.

Pros

Work from home and create your own schedule. Paid training. There is an option for therapy through the company.

Cons

They are hiring, but there aren't enough tasks to make the minimum of 10 hours a week. There are no raises and no promotions. They take a long time to respond to emails, if they respond at all. The only benefit is a 401 (k). $14 is the pay rate, and one can only work 20 hours a week, if there are enough tasks. The past couple of exams for training set one up to fail them. I have been doing this job long enough to know this. They constantly threaten your job, which really affects morale and confidence. There used to be bonuses, but they haven't done them in a long time. There were times we were given permission to work up to 35 hours for the week, but again, it has been a long time. Last one, they didn't have enough tasks to allow for workers to get to 25+. They also offered stock options, but they ended that as well. They made a major mistake on my end and threatened me unless I complied. Eventually got an email that they were wrong, but they didn't apologize. I saw they were hiring freelancers with a maximum of 25 hours a week. I wrote to management and was told the rest of us were only staying at 20. I am currently seeking other employment. There are other companies that do the same work with higher pay and actual benefits. This was once a good job, but once Telus took over, it has been downhill. I would not recommend this company anymore. I'm starting to wonder if this isn't a sinking ship.
