18 years is a long time to be in the nth newest profession in the world. That's how long I've been programming professionally, having worked at 6 companies before finally joining Call Genie's Toronto R&D centre 7 months ago. Unlike my previous companies where only some of the programmers were technically strong, all of the developers I've met here are top-notch, whether in Calgary or Toronto. We go through an intensive and challenging interview process to earn a spot on the team here. Once you're on the team, you will find our environment to be like a startup, with the Toronto developers all having joined less than a year ago. We have four scrums in Toronto for you to pick and choose from. Our evolving agile process is complemented by peer code reviews and automated unit tests, all to ensure the quality of the code we write. If quality is what you take pride in, you will find the right place for you here at Call Genie. - William

There are companies out there that I have worked for or friends of mine have worked for that you just walk in and feel like you can’t make a difference. That the big corporate machine will just keep steamrolling on by without stopping to appreciate each individual and the hard work they do. Coming from companies like that and then walking in the doors here it was a culture “shock” if you will. EVERYONE was open to new ideas that would make things better, as most people agree, there are no egos here, just people who are looking to share their knowledge and experience to the benefit of the company and the people working here. I look forward to coming to work every day knowing that we are busy, everyone is pushing hard, and yet there is time for laughter. Moving here from another city is tough, don’t know many people and everything is new. The people at Callgenie made my transition easy by being friendly and supportive, honestly, not many companies out there that can make that claim. - Chris.

Before joining the “Call Genie” team, I was a well respected paralegal for Criminal Law. To be honest with you, I was just applying for any “office” job that was out there when the law firm I had worked for closed down. I happened to get a job offer with Call Genie, and decided to give it a chance. This is the best career move I have ever made, I have never felt so comfortable and secure in any other job. The people here are all so considerate and welcoming, it really is a team environment and I could not ask for more. The one thing that I have discovered while working here is that everyone is one big happy family with nothing but respect for all fellow-employees, and no one is under/over qualified to join our team, Call Genie gives everyone the chance to succeed not only within the company, but within yourself as well. I am speaking from experience to all those who want to change careers and are afraid to do so. - Kyla

The Call Genie employee base is capable, upbeat, and team oriented. The work environment here is fast-paced and challenging. I have appreciated the structured, professional management style that delegates responsibility and expect accountability from each employee. At the same time, I have enjoyed the flexibility and personal approach that are part of the Call Genie culture. - Robert

I’ve been running projects large and small for over 10 years. Ensuring project success can mean fighting for superstars on your team. I don’t have to do that at Call Genie. From R&D to Deployment and Operations - our people are so skilled and adaptable - I’d take any of them on my team. - Doug

Have you always felt like you had to do everything yourself if you wanted it done right? Well, this is the place where you can let that go. No big egos, just smart people. This is the place where if you work long enough, Dilbert and/or Office Space will actually look surreal…Oh, did I mention we don’t have any pointy-haired bosses? - Radu

As one of the founders of Call Genie, I look back on the original business case and remember wondering how we would ever implement this grandiose idea. From the few initial employees who joined on faith to the approximately 120 people at Call Genie today, each individual has put their mark on the major world wide projects we have today. As I tell anyone who will listen, "In the beginning, we had a great idea but it took a lot of very smart people to make Call Genie what it is today." - Garry
