Pros

Very supportive team in Toronto. A history of excellence, and although that has degraded lately, the Toronto team at least is trying to hold onto and rebuild that.

Cons

A lot of change, very quickly, and not all for the better. Morale has been very low.

Pros

They hire some excellent people. Big employee discount. Working for an essential service during pandemic.

Cons

They also left international employees high and dry with their visa renewals, leaving a lot of uncertainty for my peers regarding their living and working situations and complicating the work lives of their spouses.

Pros

* Very good relocation support; * Big frontend department with existing good practices. In-house meetups, frontend newsletter and active frontend channel in the chat. Code reviews, Unit-tests culture and E2E tests coverage (we have special automation engineers); * Allowed remote/home-office days; * Free Frontendmasters / Egghead subscription; * Education budget; * In-house trainings about technologies; * Good salary on the first year after relocation; * A very diverse company with strict rules about any forms of harassment and rude behaviour; * Snacks, fruits, sweets on shared hall tables and free Friday-beer; * Budget for team events; * Depends on the team, but Agile processes in our team are very good; * Good location of the office; * Lockers for your devices; * Not a really big domain of new knowledge required for your work; * Big Russian-speaking, Spanish-speaking and Turkish-speaking communities inside; * Office management really tries to make the office more comfortable; * Agile Coach helps to improve Agile practices in teams;

Cons

* Existence of legacy code and bad architecture decisions. But leads are open for refactoring and changing stuff. Around 1 day per sprint now is booked for tech debt; * HR processes are unclear and slow sometimes. For the most amount of questions, you have to write an Email and wait; * Too many different tools for everything. For instance, HR related stuff includes 3 tools =( I have too many bookmarks already; * Lack of "family" or +1 events. Feels like all events are targeted for "single" employees; * Problems with Senior devs growth. After one-two years people don't know how to grow; * Employee flow is a bit high; * No dogs policy and comfortable conditions for pet owners; * No сupboards or conditions to store shoes/jackets; * After one-two years for senior level engineering, a salary looks not really competitive but seems discussable;
