Pros

Working hours were very flexible. Taking unpaid leave was flexible. Pay was average. Teammates were outstanding and working environment was overall positive. A lot of opportunity for over time.

Cons

Calian offers the minimum legal requirements. Regardless of how long you had been with the company Calian offered two weeks vacation with no sick leave. No health benefits were provided but you have the option to buy benefits. If you are laid off severance packages are given at the provincial minimum (after 5 years of service you are eligible for a severance package).

Cons

Hard to recruit great sales professionals and engineers. Non-compete contracts are sticky. We need help serving more customers in the market.

Pros

Small team and approachable team leads. The focus of employees is to improve their skillset and there are opportunities to do it. You are not micromanaged but you must be available and push yourself to be assigned projects. Small teams and able work remotely A push toward self improvement is necessary to be able to contribute. Managers/supervisors were approachable.

Cons

Benefits could be better. Sometimes assigned tickets that you don't have much knowledge about but you have to learn quickly to support customers who pay for time and material. Totally remote work and one could lose touch with coworkers.
