Pros

Easy to access location, some good people that work here, employee discounts.

Cons

First of all, I would like to point out that a company-wide communication was sent out in February 2015 urging all employees to leave good feedback about Cymax on Glassdoor.com and other resourceful websites. Since then, an abundance of deceitfully positive reviews have been posted here about this company. Cymax faces an absurdly high turnover rate due to a very meager wage earned working here, and remarkably tangible favoritism resulting in plenty of childish treatment of agents by managers. Cymax has also faced legal issues from terminating employment without just cuse, usually because of petty favoritism. Micromanaging employees to the point of grinding them into metaphorical dust is also to be found at Cymax every moment of every day. Employees are terribly demoralized, not knowing if they will come into work on any given day and told to go home and not come back. Fear is a weapon utilized by Cymax in an almost dictatorship-type manner. Cymax also has a well known history of not paying overtime when due, and it was only recently that we began actually paying overtime when legally required.

Pros

- Near SkyTrain, close to main artery highways. - Nice co-workers (not managers). - Not bankrupted yet - Top senior engineers (probably 3-4 of them) are paid very well. These are the ones holding the company together

Cons

- Unqualified managers and directors. Keep adding more complicated process to manage the people who don't want to be there rather than trying to help the people who are working their tail off. - 0 work/life balance. C-level executives overworked and freaked out at other employees in the middle of an open office for everyone to see. - CEO will burst into the room and demand changes to be deployed with 0 notice. People end up working late with no pay. - Nonsensical internal promotion structure. People get promoted because they are liked by upper management or are past buddies. - Fake culture with forced participation in activities. - No direction: big priorities change on a few times a day based on mood or what is promised to the board the night before despite it being planned 2 weeks ago. - Slow career growth which doesn't even makes sense: you get promoted if you keep quiet and agree on everything, no matter how wrong. After promotion, you're still doing the same thing. "Title promotion" - #FakeNews Human Resource trying to post fake positive review and get real negative reviews removed. This is a 1.5 star company at best and at worst -10 stars. - Fake, non-existent human resource who is not there for you. - Daily office politics where backstabbing and putting other people down to get ahead is common practice. - Product Roadmap is: "Copy what WayFair does". This isn't innovation. If you're looking to build something exciting, you're looking at the wrong place.
