Glassdoor Canada recently announced the best places to work in Canada for 2018 and named 25 companies where any Canadian would love to work.
The place I work (Pointclickcare) is right in the middle of the list and I was very happy to see that. Honestly, I would have given Pointclickcare Rank#1 instead of 15 as the best place to work in Canada based on my own personal experience working as an employee here.
A spot on Glassdoor’s Best Places to Work list is a tremendous achievement. After all, employees decide which companies make the list. Curious what winners have in common?
