Pluspunten

Excellent work / life balance (remote work, easy appointments, flexible hours). A modern approach to work (a little flexibility, a ping-pong table, etc.). On par with other high tech companies in Kanata. Wonderful colleagues, always learning from them. The managers are always encouraging. Opportunities to learn new skills at hack-a-thons.

Minpunten

A terrible product management engagement in R & D. Managers are not usually in sync with project managers certainly do not help. Pay is not competitive. This is constantly mentioned in all forms of feedback and questions for HR and Directors, but the answer is always the same. Yes, it may be at the 75th percentile. Yet, many high-performing employees have left or are looking for a job elsewhere. If you want to keep people, then pay them well. Wage increases and overall growth prospects within the company are not clear either. The current environment is not for growth, although the "growth" is pushed by the CEO on wards. A lot of free pop, not as much as free healthy alternatives, especially the good ripe fruit. I have seen new employees quickly develop very bad habits by drinking a few free soft drinks a day. And older employees who visit free soft drink vending machines often, taking many at a time.

Thank you for your feedback. Yes, we have free pop. We also have fresh organic fruit which is delivered to the HQ every week, a free gym, yoga classes, personal trainer, stand up desks, sports teams, benefits that cover a nutritionist, work-life balance, and recently we hired Employee Experience Specialist who is helping to develop healthy habits among employees! We have recently revamped all of our salary structures, matching to a broader base of market surveys and anchoring our target salary within ranges to a market-leading position. Where employees fall within a particular salary range and how quickly they can grow in that range, or promote to the next, is dependent on many factors including sustained performance, potential and skills and abilities relative to the defined and market-matched roles. Base pay is just one component of our total compensation and culture offering at Kinaxis. We are constantly improving our Total Rewards offering and welcome interested parties to find out what we have to offer. We’d encourage you to talk to your HR business partner or manager for an opportunity for a deeper conversation on some of these important issues.
