Pros

- Generally great culture, very open, fun events, free swag and food - Investment in education - Great pay when comparing to similar positions on the market - Work from home option - Employee stock plan has no vesting period - Employer matched RRSP contributions are really good - Generally really good hiring process that weeds out individuals without the appropriate technical skills - They actually fire people who are not performing to keep up a high performance level

Cons

- Hiring process is long and slow with many steps - Lots of change in upper management results in a very dynamic and not so enjoyable work environment - Some departments not as good to work for as others. Data analyst team is great; finance team is not so great - Not a lot of room to move up within Canada, although there are lots of opportunities in the US and particularly Richmond, Virginia

Pros

Environment was good, food was decent, free food at my location (dont know if it was allowed but it was good)

Cons

The rittenhouse location is managed by a tyrant, he is an incredibly toxic man and upper management make it the most unbearable place to work. Andy will ask you to come in on days you're not scheduled, and then hold it over your head if you don't. Talks about employees behind their backs constantly. No respect enforced employees talked about each other all the time and there was even name calling in meetings, management did nothing. Worst place I've ever worked in my life frankly and affected my mental health in the worst way. Glad to be out out of there. The place itself has potential but the management at the Rittenhouse branch and above them is absolutely terrible in every regard.
