Pros
- unlimited vacations in Canada - good local leadership - flex working hours - good equipment - skilled developers both in Canada and offshore
Kontras
- complicated lengthy interview - shared office space (Regus) not big enough. 4 developers in 2 persons office - senior offshore managers undermining Canadian dev team in every possible way - offshore product owners making decision re US market without understanding it - founder micromanaging every detail of company - complicated business setup with no back-office in Canada, candidates should be aware, make sure you have dismissal clause in your contract, and even this may not be enough as company does not have any assets/accounts in Canada - below average salary - inadequate health benefits - developers required to record every break they take using silly punch card like application widget , it feels like we are under constant surveillance - no transparency, company vision, goals are not shared with employees
