"I was lucky enough to get my start at Genetec as a computer engineering intern in 1998, back when there were only four employees. I still remember the excitement of that first interview: Pierre Racz, CEO, was a true computer enthusiast, and I just knew that I'd learn a lot—I wasn’t disappointed. During my second internship, Pierre asked me to build a prototype of an IP video surveillance system using H.261. One thing led to another and the project grew, the development team grew, Omnicast became our main product, and I have moved up the ladder." - Jonathan Doyon, Product Management Department"- Jonathan Doyon, Product Management Department
"A day at Genetec is like no other. A day in my work can include a conference call with European counterparts, negotiating special rates for tradeshow space in Brazil, and brainstorming about the next event promotional campaign. Although the excitement and fast pace are part of what I love most about my job, what’s even better is being surrounded by colleagues who understand the meaning of teamwork. Teamwork is a big part of our corporate culture. Overall, working at Genetec is like working in the kitchen at the most popular restaurant in town: crazy, busy, overwhelming and challenging, but nevertheless extremely rewarding and with a clear view of all your accomplishments." - Erica Deri, Marketing-Communications Department
