Pros

- Greats benefits such as unlimited vacations, RRSP contributions, lunches, health and wellness allocation, and volunteering day. - In general, the people is great and nice to work with. - Interesting projects, fast-paced environment, and great learning opportunities.

Cons

- Upper management lacks transparency and makes questionable decisions regarding the future of the business. - Upper management overpromises on many aspects. - Mandatory return to the office policy is questionable and appears more as a strategy to micromanage employees than for the sake of the “company’s culture”.
