      Pros

      good entry level job nice co-workers (testers) sometimes you get to work in cool games

      Cons

      low salary office location treatment of employees by the company is not the best (they make you feel very much like a number who can be replaced at any time) no benefits

      Dear fellow Keywordian, your poem has been heard. We are very sorry that you feel our work environment is not adequate at the moment because this is something we really have at heart. Not only do we have policies against harassment in the workplace in place but we communicate it to all of our employees and most importantly, we react promptly when allegations are brought to our attention. We would, therefore, urge you to come and see us in Human Resources to discuss this matter so we can deal with it in the most professional and appropriate way. Sincerely Alexandre Dion

      A lot of improvment possibilities

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Flexible work when on call (You can make yourself unavailable 24 hours before the shift starts. You just might be calles less often or not at all if you do it too often) - Get hands on some new games before they are ready - Easy summer job (If you really just want to do it for the summer, go for it. You'll probably work a lot and the rest doesn't matter. If you intend to work here fulltime, think about it twice.)

      Cons

      - Management cares little about wellbeing of employee. - Low salary (13-14$ per hour as a normal tester) - Unsecure work (New employees usualy start on call. Older employees get contracts, but when there is no project, the company does not manage to use the ressources properly) - Zero talent management. Management does not know who they are working with, what goals these people have, what strengthes and weaknesses. Your past (Education and work experience) is not taken into account and not paid for either. - Employee 'happiness' is bought with free fruits, affordable coffee and doughnuts once every 2 weeks.

      Pros

      Great co-workers and nice building

      Cons

      With Covid19 virus going around, they still do not think employees should be working from home, even though many company is already adapting such protocol. Government had also recommended people who can work from home to do so, but of course keywords arrogance and lack of concern for their employees prevents that. They just want to save face in front of clients and pretend that we are indestructible robots who can work through a pandemic at the office. We are only human. Please have some humanity Keywords.

      As the situation in Québec evolves, we continue to ensure safety measures are in place, for a safe environment for all of employees. Measures have been taken for employees who are able to begin working from home; some who have been previously connected by VPN, and others as we continue discussions with our clients who security requirements normally require the work be done in-office. This will be an ongoing process, with updates made daily on Merinio. By working to liberate space in the studio, we reducing concentration of employees on-site. Special arrangements are being made for those who have traveled outside of Canada in the current health climate. And as always, we ask our colleagues who are not feeling well to please stay home while they recuperate. Please check in with your supervisor or HR who will help ensure you are up to date. The well-being of our staff is of paramount importance. We will be glad to respond to any other questions or concerns you may have directly. We are here for you.
