I once created a throwaway account here to post about a company's bad practices. I named the company, as well.
It was immediately removed from this site.
I'm actually from Vancouver, so I would love to know the name of the company.
The OP's old employer:
1. Has one (big) claim to fame
2. Located in Vancouver
3. Has a product "dealing with large amounts of money from customers’ bank accounts"
But (3) might not be part of a product already released.
There are a lot of game developers in Van--with, of course, a thriving beer/overtime culture, but who really knows, to be honest.
- mcantelon 13y agoYeah, I'm from Vancouver and curious as well.
- jayhuang 13y agoI'm very hesitant to post the name of the company because most of my experience has to do with the PM, and not the company as a whole. Although I do have some issues with how this company is run in particular, I do not want to misguide people into thinking that working at this company will be an absolute nightmare. I have seen different dynamics on other teams within the company, but it's also not the complete picture as I am not part of those teams. Either way, (3) is a new product, essentially a startup on it's own. There are many other such projects within the company. It is also not a game development company.
- potatolicious 13y ago> "Either way, (3) is a new product, essentially a startup on it's own." Hehehe, the good old "it's a startup inside a big company!" thing. Here's my advice for when someone pitches that thought to you: run away. Here's the thing about "startup inside a big company!" - it's never true.
