          Pros

          The company does a lot to provide a reasonable and productive working environment. Resource groups of all kinds exist and are supported by the company. The company give 2 days PTO just for charity work. It feels like management wants to retain employees not just because it is good for the bottom line but because they think it is the right thing to do and we are not just numbers to them. Management tends to communicate a lot to the employees however, this is not a bad thing by any means. There are interesting projects being done here and that is why I joined Softchoice.

          Cons

          Some processes not well defined but they are working on them.

        2. Has anyone heard of Softchoice? A friend of mine is applying for a job at the Toronto location and wants to know what people think?

          It is a great company to work for. While other VARs (value added reseller) focus on quick sales, Softchoice positions itself as a solution provider considering they have by far the largest amount of Cisco and Microsoft specialists. The work-life balance is great and company supports internal promotions

              Pros

              Progressive Canadian company that treats its people amazingly well. My values map to the companies values which is nice - these are the big things. I’ve found pay to be good but I negotiated quite firmly up front. Others have not had the same experience.

              Cons

              The “little things” are what shows up every day: endless escalations, internal whack-a-mole, barely adequate systems (which were MUCH worse 2 years ago). We often seem to struggle with getting out of our own way. Recently the small team I’m a part of has taken a turn towards toxic. Different groups chasing their own agendas and not working together. Toxic people getting promoted. It’s not looking good for long term prospects.

                      Hello guys, I applied as Chemical engineer in a big company and I did with them all the interview steps (last one on 05/09/23), at the time of the interview there was no job opening and I got the interview through another division. Last week I received an email saying that they will let me know their final decision by the end of this week. Today I have received an email (with the job description attached) scheduling a call in few days for sharing the decision. Do they want to reject me on call?
