Pros

- company has strong financials and continues to grow YoY despite uncertain economic climate and tech industry - building a new, category category defining product. very exciting product vision with lots of potential, if delivered well - excellent salary and benefits (compared to other canadian employers), as well as fun employee appreciation perks like treat day ($10 every so often to spend on a treat of your choice) and wellness days (full company takes the day off) - genuinely kind people who are bright and fun to work with

Cons

- i'd say cons are not out of the ordinary for any scaling, high growth technology company. high bar for performance and fast to manage out/coach if someone is not meeting the bar - some churn at the leadership level earlier in the year and in 2024 (C-suite, VP) but seems to have stabilized now with a great team - fast moving pace where sometimes we need to pivot or pause the projects we're working on. would not recommend for someone who likes routine/slow and steady, since we definitely move fast

Pros

- Awesome founders when they were involved in the day-to-day - Great benefits

Cons

- Lost a lot of what made this place special during the scale up from 100-1000 employees - Hired a ton of outside leadership which ultimately resulted in a culture shift and many of the people who worked there the longest leaving

Pros

* Flexible working arrangements and quite a bit of autonomy. * A genuinely supportive manager and a collaborative, positive team environment. * Competitive pay for the role and responsibilities.

Cons

In recent years the company has shifted in a direction that feels very different from the organisation I originally joined. * There is a strong emphasis on a “high performance culture”, but there is limited structure or support in place to help employees develop the skills needed to meet those expectations. * Career progression and compensation increases can feel closely tied to visibility rather than the quality or impact of the work itself. * The company is moving away from its fully remote approach. In-person events that were once optional are now mandatory, even for teams that may not directly benefit from them. The locations chosen do not always appear to consider the needs or circumstances of a globally distributed workforce, and employees are now required to go through formal accommodation processes simply to avoid international travel due to health or safety concerns.
