Pros

All around an excellent company to work for. The team is competent and easy to work with, and they all work hard at their jobs. The flexible hours and vacation policies make time off relatively stress free. - Diverse and challenging projects across the whole stack - Flexible hours and schedules - Remote work (no transit) - Generous PTO policy - Employee equipment supplied as needed

Cons

- Remote work (few in-person gatherings with coworkers) - International business means sometimes odd hours (timezone juggling) - Small company so career advancement is less will defined than in larger orgs

Pros

The founder of SparkLit puts in great effort to make this company a fantastic resource for its customers, and an amazing work environment for its employees. Rajiv is a team builder, which shows in the ways that he encourages us to work and play together. The open concept layout of the office facilitates information sharing and support, and the use of apps such as Slack and Flow allows for optimal communication. Having benefits is also a great comfort that we all enjoy. Rajiv sponsored and organized a group volunteering event, where we served breakfast at Our Place Society before coming in to work. We have gym memberships together so we can encourage each other to live healthier, and a ping pong table for when we need to give our minds a light-hearted break. Another way we bond is over food: for lunch on Wednesdays we have pizza delivered to the office, and Thursdays we explore the neighbourhood to find a local business to support. We are able to focus on, and sincerely care about, the quality of our services and products because we feel cared for. I try to avoid cliches, but it really is the best job I have had, the best boss I have worked for, and I enjoy coming to work every day.

Cons

The view from the second floor of the building of the beautiful inner harbour of charming Victoria city is sometimes obstructed by landing float planes
