Great technical challenges and a product that impacts patient's lives - Backend Developer TelMedIQ Employee Review

* competitive pay * interesting product space * light on process (few meetings etc) * flexible work environment (hours, remote work etc) * company has a lot of potential to succeed * good company size; big enough to be stable, but small enough to be dynamic and interesting

* "my way or the highway" engineering leadership makes it very hard for individuals to have influence or stand out * engineering culture is feature-focused, at the expense of long-term productivity (e.g. internal documentation, test coverage, refactoring, etc) * workplace can be confrontational, with no HR to turn to when issues arise * the Victoria office, while pretty, is hard to collaborate in; it's loud and echoey and only has one collaboration space * remote employees are isolated; most decisions come from impromptu in-office chats

It's a friendly, positive working environment. You are able to have a relatively high degree of interaction with customers. The company is having a beneficial impact on patient outcomes and that's rewarding. Customers love the product. It's a fun place to work and the company shows us flexibility; you can work from home when it makes sense. Really good motivated team, using cutting edge development tools. Rapid new feature delivery. Just won industry leader award, cool place to work.

Long hours when key deadlines are in play. Need more communication from management to tell us how the company is doing.
