Pros

Open concept office Work-from-home flexibility Management who listens to concerns when you bring them up Competitive salary 100% RRSP contribution matching Beer fridays Nerf gun culture Great training program for new hires I have been with Solium / Shareworks for over 3 years now and I have been able to grow my confidence and my career. I am given opportunity to build and direct the product in a way that makes most sense to me as well as the business. I am encouraged to work on improving my technical skills during work hours. It's not always go go go, which is nice. If I had concerns about anything such as compensation, or having a healthy work-life balance, I was able to bring it up in 1-on-1s with my manager, and be listened to. Management is also very transparent and open about the path forward to help any motivated individual grow their career. Shareworks is a great place to work!

Cons

No more long-term incentive program (annual grants) to help the employees feel rewarded when the company does well. Health benefits have an across-the-board $1000 limit now No more sabbatical program Dev teams always have large backlogs because of how many features are desired, and not enough teams to build it all.

Pros

Very good co-workers, Great technology stack. Lot of new technologies and integration with current work.

Cons

They dont even give you a MS cup. They ask you to buy it for 5$. So cheap! Management big on "Giving back", Immediate managers do not like it and are not supportive. Lay off employees twice a year to show profits. Only worried about shareholders and clients. Don't know the criteria for lay-off. So, you are always worried if it is your turn. They boast about mental health and wellness. No good, when they layoff employees like this. HR = Horrible Resources. When you are laid off, they shoo you away as if you are a fly. You feel miserable. They themselves say - "We are better than Facebook or Oracle. We dont fire you at 6 AM over email." Gosh! What a comparison!
