      Pros

      Friendly and intelligent peers Work day eventually ends Richmond office seems nice

      Cons

      - Notoriously cheap, unable to provide basic resources for employees to perform their jobs - Most company IT operations based out of Richmond, BC with 3 hour time difference. Firewall issue? Network issues? Critical deadline? Wait until 12PM at a minimum. - Office was unkempt and filthy, consistently found 20+ year old equipment plugged in doing nothing, cabling was a mess, air conditioner wasn't cleaned for years, holes in the floor, network cabling a mess - Managers have no actual management experience - and it shows, they were promoted through seniority. Managers are also not rated by employees, which means despite terrible performance - this never actually gets discussed higher in the chain of command and addressed - The majority of your time will be spent dealing with the laughably slow bureaucratic processes of this inefficient beast. Prepare to spend all of your time writing emails for 7 weeks to appease company politics - only to find the work you were going to do has been cancelled.

      Pros

      Benefits, International travels, Interesting industry

      Cons

      - employees are just numbers and a cost. Forget about any human consideration - managers will lie to you and manipulate you to serve their own interests - you will not be given the means/tools/support to do your job - your job description is a joke: once enrolled, your job isn't actually what you signed for - the HR department (from the top down) is the most incompetent you'll ever deal with. They don't know the employment laws/regulations and will hide information or lie to you - you will NEVER be able to make a decision as every single thing has to be approved by dozens of people first and at the end, your division''s manager will have the last word... you better suggest your ideas on their good days! But even that doesn't guarantee they'll even be considered. - salary is miles away from what's offered on the market. - you will only be let go with a working notice (eh, if we can save $10, why not? Even if we make billions a year...) - don't even dare ask questions about the company's compliance with the employment regulations... The list goes on and on...
