Business Outlook
Pros
Can't say anything positive about the last year. Probably only one, I am still employed.
Cons
Compensation is lower than what many other tech companies in the Ottawa area offer. Because of that, it can be difficult to attract and keep strong engineers. Over time this has affected the overall engineering quality. In some teams the development standards and sense of technical ownership are not as strong as they could be, which sometimes leads to code that is harder to maintain in the long run. Improving compensation and strengthening hiring standards would likely help bring in and retain stronger talent.
