Question: Would I be required to built generic software or customized software?
Answer: There is a general framework that is used across all projects; however, each client will require different features to be implemented. It is a very project-driven environment where you will be working with 3-4 different clients at one time. Lots of variety and never a dull moment!

Question: What is the environment like in the office?
Answer: The office is a newly refurbished loft in downtown Toronto. There are 80 employees with 16 on the development team. It’s a close-knit team in a relaxed work environment. No florescent lighting in this penthouse office.
