Business Outlook

Pros

Base Salary is good. ESPP is great.

Cons

Horribly unorganized. Too many people that don't have a purpose. Reduction in stock grants... Expect layoffs. Leadership is all over the place.

Decent pay, interesting project, poor management and communication

Software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent compensation for Toronto area, although not top of the line. Good benefits. Complex, impactful project with a lot of unknowns and growth opportunities.

Cons

Management not living up to the mission. Little communication about the plans and direction. Little to no time for team-scope planning, design and implementation. Trying to run without crawling. Trying to run a start-up but things have go through upper management. Any feedback you provide feels dismissed. People cycling in and out. No strong product team. Discouraging that the stock plan got cut without a balancing of total compensation.

Business Outlook

Pros

1. Gives Hybrid work culture.

Cons

1. Relatively less salary (13LPA). 2. Not great work life balance (at least in my team). I know for a fact that certain manager had asked an intern and an SDE-1 to even work on weekends without ANY overtime! 3. Not a lot of growth. Please note: All this depends a lot on the team you end up in.
