Pros

They order good lunches sometimes.

Cons

Don't bother trying to work here. Marcus and Rakia maintain a fine public reputation, but in the end you'll regret ever being hired. I was hired in August 2017. Three of us were onboarded together. 2 designers and 1 office manager. 3 months later in November, Marcus and Rakia politely dismissed all 3 of us. Like, right before the holidays. They told each of us (separately) that we were "unqualified". Yeah right. Just more Marcus and Rakia have very shady business practices. I know you'll apply bc you need a job. But don't bother. At the end of the day, you'll be grossly underpaid, and you'll be looking for a job again within 6 months. Because at the end of the day, when finances get tight for Marcus and Rakia, they unload employees to cut overhead.

FIN Digital Response

Though our company has no record of releasing any staff at the time you've identified I'm sorry this was your experience. We do provide employee reviews to all staff at the end their 90 day period, during this review staff will be encouraged to enhance or refine their skills for the best of our clients and company. This review is meant to be helpful in the continued success of that staff member. Though the growth of the company is dependent on its business development needs, FIN is a medium sized company that budgets for a lean and mighty staff; no position is confirmed unless the budget for that position is seen 5X over. No staff member has ever been relieved due to company financial strain. FIN Digital has been profitable each year since it's inception and has never required staff cutbacks. With the leadership of 4 founding partners, a board and accounting team we believe our business practices are standard to the industry and adhere to all regulations and requirements when it comes to our staff, company, and clients. With staff members that have been with FIN since it's inception, we believe this is a company that values the longevity of our staff. If there is anything, our team can do to rectify your experience we encourage you to reach out to a member of our staff immediately.

Pros

Flexible telework offered, collaborative team environment, great location and transit subsidy benefit is super helpful. Management is really committed to providing a healthy work space where feedback is encouraged and being hyper-communicative about expectations.

Cons

Start up/Boutique feel, so you are heads down from the time you enter to the time you leave, but this is balanced out by generous employer providing impromptu office parties to build morale.

Pros

No pros to this company whatsoever.

Cons

It's literally just a 9-5 office job with do this/do that tasks. There weren't any teachable moments while working for this company. Rakia promised and guaranteed that she would be open to teach anyone about how to code, but when I emailed her three times, I did not receive a response and I had to figure it out on my own. To them, its all about "tech tech tech". There's no talk on how to develop a meaningful impact on a product or with a client. Rakia would also send me to do small tasks that's supposed to be quick, but would always respond with "that's not good enough". Which took me away from the big projects I was supposed to be working on. You're better off finding a place that is more reliable and will teach you anything you need to know.
