Pros

Four day work week during the summer, RRSP matching, and devs are generally really good people. It *was* a great diverse place to work.

Cons

New CTO instantly put the entire team on blast. Is huge on public shaming (even when asked to bring criticism privately), swears actively in meetings, and makes many people uncomfortable. He pushes the team to implement massive large-scale changes on many things for really no reason other than he has a preference for one tool/technology vs. another, even when people highlight that both tools are functionally the same. He has huge problems with very specific people, and targeted them for dismissal/role reductions which drastically reduced the diverse pool of contributors that was originally there. Quite a few people have departed now due to him reducing the diversity that existed previously, causing many employees to feel unwelcome.

Pros

Nothing at all, they are liars .

Cons

They will hire you for one job Then completely switch it to something else you never signed up for . Then blame you for not having enough experience ? You signed your contract saying one job And they will switch up on you And not even pay you what your worth . Horrible management Grown adults need to be babysat Re assigns employee on job without training or any previous experience then fires you after probation is up . So if you want to be taken advantage of for 3 months for insulting pay and then fired This is the job for you

Pros

3% RRSP Match, Remote, 4 Day work week during summer

Cons

I've grown increasingly concerned about the trajectory of our technology team since the introduction of the new CTO. Our department, once a beacon of innovation and inclusivity, now appears mired in bureaucratic red tape. The intense focus on metrics like number of commits and exhaustive time-tracking (allegedly for SRED purposes) feels both stifling and unnecessary. It's particularly disheartening to see the frequent parroting of phrases like "Nail It, then Scale it" without a clear plan for implementation. Such ambiguity has left many of us feeling directionless. More troubling is the noticeable loss of top talent in recent months. A sentiment that is not unwarranted when our project management team seems to be missing the mark. Their over-reliance on superficial metrics, devoid of meaningful context, feels misguided at best. A comprehensive training in project management feels not just necessary, but urgent. Immediate action is needed if we hope to reverse this trend, recapture our previous standards, and prevent further loss of valuable team members. Given these circumstances, I would caution prospective employees to think long and hard before joining. Until there's a significant shift in direction and leadership, it might be best to consider other opportunities.
