Pros

- Great office - Great people - Great perks

Cons

- Despite what they tell you, management doesn’t care about anything else than money. - They’ll care about you until they don’t need you anymore. - They’ll promise you stuff but won’t act on it. - If you’re not friends with the right people, you will never advance in this company.

Pros

The office is kinda cool and they give you good equipment You're going to work on a f-ton of projects, looks good on the cv Has extremely competent and numerous women in the workforce Mark, the CEO, will take the time to hear you if talk to him.

Cons

Before the pandemic they had NO TRUST in the employee to work remotely. Seems like the current context has forced them to change, how funny. Not willingly so, that I can guarantee. Work is repetitive and there's not much room to discuss actual engineering and solutions. Some designers have no clue what they're doing when it comes to the web. They come up with non feasible mockups, project managers arrange everything with the clients and good luck for devs to implement that in the surreal timeframe they will give you. They charged employees for cheap snacks that could easily be offered for free. They claim to have games in the office, but you'll likely never touch them because you'll be overworked. And finally a couple of Francophones with whom I worked would make very subtle comments in French with one another so that I wouldn't understand what they were saying. Disrespectful to say the least. Seems like the only interesting project going on is Star Citizen. The rest is all tech-debt or short-lived in the case of the other few interesting ones.
