iQmetrix

Met some amazing people and had some great experiences while working here. In the beginning, it felt like a dream. Eventually, things started to change and not for the better.

I played my own part in souring my experience here, but there were many factors beyond my control. I watched some of the brightest, most driven people leave the company or become disillusioned because of the strange mix of high-school immaturity mixed with increasingly strict policies and procedures that put employees second. 

In business development classes at university we learned that over-diversification is typically a growing company's greatest mistake, and iQmetrix did this with abandon. They tried to do too much and ended up alienated their core customer base. By the time they scrambled to try and win back that loyalty, it seemed too late.  

I don't know if they'll ever get the magic back. I really hope they do. The CEO is inspiring and has an infectious sense of creativity and optimism. 

If you're looking for a company where you can truly be yourself, enjoy autonomy and feel trusted to do your best work in your own unique way, this is probably not the place to be. They try to make it sound like that's what they want from you but, in my experience, it wasn't like that. 

I have spent the last almost 9 years with iQmetrix.
A typical day at work included creating great experiences for co-workers by offering things such as fresh fruit, free beverages, a nice working environment and all of the things in between.

My co-workers are my friends...I know alot of people say this but it is definitely true and i will remain friends with them long after I have left the company. We are like a family. We share in our success and all of the great things that come with that.

The hardest part of the job would have to be keeping up with the work load at times. In an office of just over 150 people it could get overwhelming to meet everyone's needs while still keeping up with the other day to day tasks. 

The most enjoyable part of the job is knowing that I was able to help someone in any way, make their day a little brighter and just knowing I'm needed and valued in general always gave me a great feeling!

I learned something everyday while working at iQmetrix. The culture is great. Office and workplace is awesome, good people, diverse workplace, free coffee and drinks, snacks and fruits, fitness programs. There are game consoles, game cards and gameboards you can play with with other people. Every team makes sure that they have the latest technology in place. Full-agile environment. You'll be surrounded by smart people. They also take care of the people's health and well being. You'll have a good work-life balance. The company also makes sure that the salary of people are in-line with the current market. If you can choose a team, choose the team that has a horse with wings. 

The support team answers phone, chat, and emails daily but is often neglected within the 'fun' corporate culture. Hard work and little respect given.

Call frequency is extremely sporadic, some weeks at a time were back to back calls, other you would be lucky to receive 5 a day. Small projects and downtime that you cannot always devote time to are expected and then you are left unsupported. Upper management seemed to constantly make decisions that hurt clients and put more demand on the support team with no change ever in sight. Increasing demands on the team and a lack of focus forced me to resign. It seems a lot of people were jumping ship around the same time.

The company is quite big, so my experience is related to the team I'm with.
From a software dev, perspective, I can say that the code is mature, and in general well written. 
People are friendly and willing to help, and here you can meet some very bright people
The management is quite transparent in communicating their plans and the status of the company. 

This could be a good place to work if they raised the wages and hired decent management. They often use bad upgrades that let you know the customer is always wrong. The office environment is clicky and very negative. If you like drinking and a vacation after a year of putting up with a hand full of awful people and low pay this is the company for you.

Working at iQ was an amazing experience, I feel I learned a lot from my time there and met many wonderful people. I feel I was always pushed to do better and be the best I could be. There is always something interesting going on, video games in the lounge, board games at lunch, optional random monthly meetings with another coworker to get to know them better.

It’s not a place where you would work your entire life as the salary is too little and you will only move to another position if you are friends with the right people.

The culture is great, the workload is alright and there are plenty of avenues for growth. The office space is great and there are a lot of people. The only caveat is with lots of changes, a lot of employee's needs are put on the wayside for the needs of the organization as a whole

Everything was great until we discovered that the company was operating at a loss and then suddenly a massive layoff happened (30% of the workforce got laid off)
