Pros

RRSP Contribution is very good. Work life balance is awesome, there's virtually no work to do!

Cons

Nothing. Every tech director is building their empire with very little care for their employees. Most of us have nothing to do for a whole year, and managers just lie during the performance review and hope for the best. Literally 5 lines of code will get you through the year. If you work in tech, you will run in to the worst leadership teams imaginable.

Pros

Environment was good, food was decent, free food at my location (dont know if it was allowed but it was good)

Cons

The rittenhouse location is managed by a tyrant, he is an incredibly toxic man and upper management make it the most unbearable place to work. Andy will ask you to come in on days you're not scheduled, and then hold it over your head if you don't. Talks about employees behind their backs constantly. No respect enforced employees talked about each other all the time and there was even name calling in meetings, management did nothing. Worst place I've ever worked in my life frankly and affected my mental health in the worst way. Glad to be out out of there. The place itself has potential but the management at the Rittenhouse branch and above them is absolutely terrible in every regard.
