Pros

- A pretty decent matching RRSP Program and health/wellness spending account. - Free in-office snacks and drinks supplied to the office. - The occasional Friday afternoon off during the summer months.

Cons

If you are even considering a job with this company, turn around now before it's too late. - The negative comments below are all absolutely true and the positive ones are all written by people who just started and are conned into writing one while they're still in the 'honeymoon' phase of working there. - The CEO is an absolute narcissistic bully who feels his way is the only right way of doing things, he even has a verbatim script for the sales team. And swift punishment in front of your cohorts will happen if you don't follow it. - There is absolutely no job security. I've watched over 15 people get fired depending on which side of the bed the CEO woke up on that morning. You misstep even slightly and you're out the door. The management gives you no time to learn from a mistake. And don't even bother trying to make friends here because they'll be gone instantly. - The management at this company wouldn't know work/life balance if it bit them in the face. You best leave your 'life' behind you if you take a job here. 5/6 AM meetings are regular weekly occurrences and you better believe you'll be working late and on weekends. Not to mention it's mandatory to work IN OFFICE all days of the week. No exceptions. - The 'bonus' structure is an absolute joke and rarely provided to employees if at all. Don't bother factoring that into your overall pay because it won't happen. - Burnout is very real at this company. They do nothing more for your mental health than supply you with an application that is supposed to help and an occasional Friday afternoon off. The 'mental health' app is a joke and only supplied because the CEO is on the board of that company so probably gets it for free. - You'll notice its a bit of family reunion running as a company. Guaranteed you'll be working with someones else's, brother, sister, dad here. And those are the only people worth making friends with because they'll never get fired regardless of their competencies or not. - The product looks like it rolled out of the early 90s and is hard to sell to potential clients as new and innovative. It's not something you can stand proudly behind.

Pros

- Pay was decent. - Had a decent bonus structure plan. - Some strong folks worked there

Cons

- The CEO a narcissist who refuses to believe that he might be the reason why the company struggles. - The other leaders around the senior management team are afraid to speak frankly about what is right or wrong. Its a culture of fear. - You get hired with the idea to start at 8am, but then get shoved into 6 am meetings that you cannot miss. Don't try to leave at 4pm either, somebody will be there to make sure you are still working. - On a regular basis this company just fires whole teams without cause or notice. This has occurred a known 3 times in the last 2 years of business operation. - The people who run this company seem to think running a software company is like running a construction crew. - The leadership is extremely conservative and fail to understand that there is a reason why silicon valley companies are successful and its directly correlated to the more liberal side of the political spectrum. - This company seems to have constant drama and it creates an environment where you will struggle to trust your coworkers.. and to be clear, its not your coworkers fault at all. - They sell you over priced options as salary compensation. The company is not worth even close to what they think in those options.. You will be bag holding for years. - There is extreme technical debt. The reason is because half the work has begun multiple times and been left there. - The code base is quite possibly the ugliest code base I have ever seen. - There are huge security holes in the application but the CEO wants to sell it like its iron clad super safe. This is the level of his ability to be out of touch with what his staff know about what is going on.

Nepotism run wild

Pros

Seen amazing talent walk through those doors (though no one ever stays) Field Safe has a good product in their hands but no roadmap Has the potential to be a SaaS company but is far from it

Cons

Management has no understanding of how to run a software company. They masquerade as a SaaS company, but are a custom dev shop at best and more akin to an oil & gas safety company selling software built a decade ago. They survive off of the relationship with one large client. They pretend to want to hear your advice but never listen. They try to lure you with competitive salary and bonus but nickel and dime you on your bonus every quarter. They make you sign away your common law rights so if they decide you're not a good fit you have no rights even when wrongfully dismissed. HR department is non existent. The company reeks of nepotism. CEO is a narcissist, a liar and a bully. CTO has been exiled. No senior dev has ever lasted a year. Many have accepted less money to move on. The headaches, long hours and 6am meetings are not worth your time and energy.
