Pros

Great coworkers Interesting projects Huge product line

Cons

Worst management Favouritism on each level Weird grooming culture Instead of fixing the system, let’s launch an unnecessary and unasked product Under experienced people getting promoted through boot licking Non existent HR No privacy or anonymity Micromanagement is appreciated People will step onto you for their promotion No higher up is actually there to guide you, they hired you for their promotion Traditional mindset No career roadmap If you stay here for more than 2 years, you are going to get exploited with less pay Pay is way below market compared to the work

Toxic work environment

Pros

Work was interesting and challenging in a good way. You can add real value quickly and feel good about it. Some very friendly people work there. Barrie is a nice area to live and work in.

Cons

Management practices created an unhealthy and distrustful workplace culture. One example was inconsistent in-office attendance expectations across teams, with different departments assigned different office days. On some Friday afternoons, one of the owners would enter the office without speaking to staff and take photos of employees at their desks to monitor attendance. Those snapshots did not account for meetings, breaks, or employees working elsewhere in the office, yet were seemingly used to question whether enough people were present. The following week, staff would receive communications from leadership raising concerns about attendance. Approaches like this felt intrusive, disrespectful, and contributed to a toxic culture built on surveillance rather than trust and accountability.
