Mess of a company - Anonymous employee Colligo Networks Employee Review

- Some strategic adds to the leadership team in 2016 have given the culture and atmosphere a dramatic boost. There is a renewed focus from on innovation, lean methodology to deliver value, and customer success. - By and large, people and collaborative, direct in their communications, and friendly. HR pays a lot of attention to the socials and the office culture. There is a lot of focus on peer recognition. Based on the other GD reviews, I was a wary of the culture when I interviewed, but in fact it was meeting everyone face to face that convinced me to take the job; that these are problem-solving people I wanted to work with. - The location in Yaletown is great, right near Canada Line. - My compensation is fair. I shared some market data with them before I was hired and their offer was where I wanted to be. - Colligo has a solid customer base already.

- Some growing pains as the company scales up. Examples: some departments could definitely use more people, and there are some customers on older software versions which ties up resources in support. - Inter-team communication is getting better but needs to improve. There are some legacy silos that need to be broken down further. - Older building, but the location can’t be beat.

I worked here full time during a school co-op semester and thoroughly enjoyed my experience. While only a temporary employee, I was always made to feel welcome by all, and was included as a full member of internal project teams, allowing me to broaden my skills. I was also heartily included as an equal in Colligo's (frequent) staff social events, enabling me to build cross-functional relationships.

There really aren't any, but I suppose if I had to convey a negative, it would be that their product is targeting a niche within the Sharepoint space, which limits their potential market somewhat, and by extension, the possibility of realizing the accelerated growth rates that many tech companies aspire to achieve. Offering the best-designed option within a niche, however, can also be interpreted as a strong positive.
