      Pros

      - Leadership puts a lot of effort into creating a company culture that's inclusive and not like 99.9% of other tech startups - Thoughtful process in choosing projects to work on and is not solemnly focused on the bottom line/profit - Lots of opportunities for company morale boosts and bonding - TWO corgis! Overall, MistyWest is unlike any other place I've ever worked and has gone above and beyond in helping me forget the poor management and toxic work cultures I've experienced at previous employers.

      Cons

      - Because of the 'flat' structure of the company, it can be difficult to identify whose responsibility is what at times - The company is still quite lean and green, so employees may need to wear a couple hats (and this may lead to the above issue again) - As it's an engineering firm, a lot of the focus for business/team development or identifying needs is engineering based, yet there are several employees who are not engineers and have different needs/goals within the company and may not identify with company goals

      Thanks for the considerate feedback and review Westie! We're working on improving our governance processes so everyone is crystal clear on accountabilities at all times. We encourage our team to raise tensions and work to navigate them together. - Rebecca

      MistyWest is a great company to work for if you prioritize low drama and skills development over compensation.

      Pros

      -Low drama -It's a small company that encourages you to become engaged -Very flexible working schedule -High variety of projects -Good place to build core skills -Has grown around %350 in 4 years -Dog friendly -Engineers are paid for overtime at 1x (much better than the regular 0x in my experience) -Overtime is fully optional

      Cons

      -It's a small company, so there is not a clear career path, your advancement is very much tied to that of the company -Projects can be brief because it's a consultancy -The workload is not super consistent (it varies from nothing to do to everything is on fire), this is normal for a consultancy though -The flexible work hours can make it difficult to coordinate on some projects -Compensation is average compared to other Vancouver companies
