Pros

We get paid I guess? I'm not sure what else there is ..maybe Unlimited vacation

Cons

let's see..company has been talking about getting funding for the last few years and once they got it, it was supposed to grow and make all these changes as a whole but instead we have all these things that are in front of us that we need to consider but this wasn't there before the funding was annouced. Horrible planning and last minute changes. You do not want to work here if you do not understand startups.

Toxic environment

Pros

They have some good perks like unlimited unpaid vacation, nice snack kitchen, organizing social events and activities for employees.

Cons

A toxic environment, opposite to what are they promoting to their employees, some of these critical issues: - Managers have a lot of contempt to each other, and sometimes it reflects on direct orders to employees to obstruct their colleagues from other divisions. - Some teams have no future plans and most of their focus is on short term projects, the big picture is quite missing or blurry. - Their interview questions were extremely basic, any second or third year student can actually answer all of them clearly, it gives an indication the hiring manager doesn't know what core skills to look for in a candidate for the role.

A sad story of greed and narcissism

Pros

The most outstanding, diverse collection of world-class engineers and scientists covering an incredible span of disciplines [machine learning, high performance computing design & implementation, computational chemistry, electrical and mechanical engineering, opto-electronics, experimental chemistry, soil science, agronomy, biology, etc etc], easily falls into the top 10 in North America. The technical team could build any system, device or machinery you can think of. The comp benefits are really good here too, so long as the org can stay afloat. The org's mission, even though it has nothing to do with a viable business model, is one that a lot of people align with.

Cons

Leadership is and has been corrupt, out of touch with both the industry at large as well as the team's capabilities. Goals are chosen based on what makes leadership sound the best (i.e. "to be the biggest company in Canada!!") instead of something realistic. Leadership is chosen based on pre-existing relationships and business function authority is assigned at random, which means no one has proper guidance to navigate through the surprisingly dense bureaucracy to do their job effectively. Hyper inflated salaries and benefits at the top for those who have yet to produce anything meaningful at the org.
