Pros

Potentially great opportunity to solve interesting problems.

Cons

CTO does not know anything about development stack. Extremely micromanaged environment. They pushing "legal" limits of Work BC standards. Working here will be flipping a coin every morning to see if you will be fired or you will be asked to work through the weekends. If you are an Intern or Junior Specialist dont even think to go there, unless you are desperately need experience.

Pros

- Nice, classy, colorful office in great location of North Vancouver. - Foosball table. - Bring pets to work. - Pizza, beers, bagels and chips. - Fancy coffee machine. - Great hardware, I got a brand new Macbook Pro, 2 monitors and standing desk. - Real high performing engineers dedicated to making excellent products. - Experienced managers that are humble and understanding. - Very good QA team that takes the job seriously. - Great investment and customers paying, they are selling real product and making real money already. - They pay me competitively. I feel satisfied with my income and benefit package. - Get to work with lots of different types of engineers and professionals. Web, firmware, robotics, farmers, etc. - Has that "this company is going places feel to it". I don't feel like I'm wasting my life when I go to work. - Get to contribute your skills to a company that actually benefits the world and helps people not just trying to get rich and sell people generic apps. They are solving making clean food easier to produce for farmers.

Cons

- Not a place to drink coffee and collect pay cheque, requires ambition and drive. Some will love this some won't. I myself enjoy the fast paced, high growth potential style. - No stock / equity package. (yet) I hear this may change soon though.

Pros

Since it is a start-up environment, there are plenty of chances to learn new skills and collaborate with all of the teams; it's a real opportunity to push yourself, as many have advanced their careers at Ecoation Inc. All employees get to work directly with the CEO/CTO also, which can give valuable business insight. Casual office attire makes a nice change, along with 'personal days' provided in addition to vacation for when 'little things' pop up.

Cons

Like any start-up, it takes time to fine-tune processes and platforms, so a bit of patience is required from staff whilst things are improved/ tested out. However, this could also be seen as an opportunity to make valuable suggestions and change at the company.
