Pros

Extremely flexible hours and WFH policy Beer on tap Unlimited sick days

Cons

The company overall was very disorganized. They worked on a multi-year project only to recently drop it due to issues that were somehow unforeseen. There was no real management, and the founder of the company was very overbearing, while also not having any real business aptitude. The product they work on is super sketchy, and they lie to new employees about how the company runs in order to make it seem less so. They won’t even tell you what the product is without making you sign an NDA. They fired two dev managers in a year (plus multiple developers), which shows that their hiring process is seriously lacking. The company has no real goals or mission and just seems really confused overall. It doesn’t help that they don’t fully communicate any plans they do have to their employees. It’s easy to find another company in Kitchener with much more fulfilling work, a better product, and knows what they’re doing.
