Cons
I was recruited and misled about a number of things. The recruiter told me benefits were free and refused to provide details of coverage. Found out during onboarding that was not the case. The role described during the interview to lure me away from my fulltime job was not the role I ended up doing. No explanation was ever provided. Paid meal breaks were not provided for an 8 hr work day. Product training was non-existent, my questions were never addressed. There seemed to be a general lack of knowledge on the manager's part. I was isolated from project and product management, making my tasks difficult. Culture seems odd, people reported having personal items disappear from their desks, this was ignored by management. Management has a habit of gossiping about employees in a negative manner. Too many other problems to list here, if you accept a role ensure the offer is reviewed by a lawyer as many clauses violate the ESA in Ontario. Was warned by my lawyer to turn the offer down but I had high hopes for a once greatly admired brand.
