...To say that the work environment as Seagate Software is very relaxed and welcoming is a big understatement. There are no sick days at Seagate Software. If you are sick, then you don't come in to work, simple as that. There are no scheduled breaks and lunch time is when you feel hungry. People do not wear suits and ties to work, they wear jeans and t-shirts, shorts and sweatshirts, and this includes the president of the company as well! At both Vancouver Offices, Seagate Software employees who find time within their busy schedules can work out at the corporate fitness facility or play fooseball, shoot pool or table tennis. Bring your own skewers and you can BBQ on the roof top deck, which overlooks downtown Vancouver. No food? No problem. The vending machines at Seagate Software are practically free and that doesn't mean just pop and candy bars - it includes frozen dinners, Hagen Daaz ice cream bars and all the tea, hot chocolate and gourmet coffee you can drink. There is even a big screen television dedicated to Sony Playstation and Nintendo 64."
