Pros

Skill development was encouraged. Team of people was fun and bonded closely. Company computer and phone were of good quality. Software was current, and new technologies adopted as necessary.

Cons

Management was essentaily a one man operation, with all decisions centralized under the owner, leaving very little room for collaboration or diverse perspectives. Management frequently preached about the company’s core values—such as integrity, collaboration, and employee well-being—but failed to consistently embody these principles in practice. Despite the emphasis on creating a supportive and respectful work environment, decisions were often made that prioritized profit and personal interests over the well-being of the team. This inconsistency, along with rigorous project schedules, tight timelines, and lack of compensation created a sense of disillusionment and frustration amongst employees. The values touted by leadership do not align with the day-to-day reality of the workplace.

Pros

Management has an open-door policy and listens to suggestions and feedback. Hiring managers are more concerned about fit within the role and organization which encourages diversity in the company. Team members are personable and easy to get along with. The hybrid office / WFH arrangement is excellent considering there are many companies that are going back to full-time in office. I appreciate that I can work from home the majority of the days during the week. I also appreciate having office space in a fantastic downtown location close to restaurants and transit. The work can be challenging and there are plenty of opportunities to learn and grow. Management regularly acknowledges a job well done.

Cons

Any con I can think of is offset by the fact that this is a small company. Could the benefits be better? Of course, but small companies don't have the advantage of leverage. Could the work be done from home every day? Sure - but then the teams wouldn't be as strong. Being in the office a couple days a week allows for better interactions and growth within the organization. There are times when we are short-handed given the volume of work which makes that work/life balance tricky. Again - that's due to company size. Fortunately, everyone is willing to pitch in where possible even in areas they have little or no experience in.

Pros

The people you work with will be nice.

Cons

CEO likes to micromanage employees and are switching to back to in office work. CEO will say he cares but only thinks about himself. Raises are always minimal and you will be under appreciated for work being done.
