Utter Chaos

Senior it consultant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great HR on-boarding process (lots of practice with the high turn over rate) Good medical benefits (will need them if you work there) Good stock purchase/matching program

Cons

Place was utter chaos when I worked there, with extremely high turnover rate. They where not able to retain any type of talent. Anyone with any skills and talent was worked to death and would run out the door after six months. Lots of remote work from home employees that where just collecting pay checks.

A missed opportunity

Software developer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The share plan is reasonable. Some good talent, but ultimately wasted by inexperienced managers.

Cons

The ODSC job advertisement highlighted a great deal of things, which made it attractive compared to other corporations. Unfortunately fairly inexperienced and immature managers where put in charge of the team, which ultimately contributed to a toxic working environment.

Beware the bench!

Software developer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Co-workers are great for most of them - Great promises and great mandate to start, but if ever you loose that mandate, see the cons... - Great working machine, mostly laptop. - Allow remote working

Cons

- If you're being put on the bench, start searching another job now! Chances you got a new mandate are low especially if you're on the bench more than a few weeks. Basically they try to make you leave before they have to cut you at this point. - Great laptops but poor software configuration leading to poor performing machine... Encryption and AV protection kill it. Those are both necessary but could be configured to be less intrusive and performance wise all-around without compromising much... - You have to be with the right peoples to grow in that company.
