Pros

there is NOTHING positive to add

Cons

My experience at this company was deeply unprofessional and highly pressuring. The culture does not reflect the values the company claims to stand for and leadership shows little concern for building a people team that treats employees with respect. Turnover is constant, with employees being let go abruptly and without clear justification. Interactions across teams were often rude and dismissive, with little respect for others or their time. While seniority exists, it did not justify the condescending tone and lack of professionalism in communication. Promising benefits during interviews that were never going to be delivered. Overall, there was minimal transparency, support or stability.

Note: Over the past 10 days, we’ve received a much higher-than-usual volume of Glassdoor reviews. We’ve flagged this activity with Glassdoor for review. Regardless, we take all feedback seriously and will continue to respond thoughtfully and transparently. Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re sorry this was how your time at DealMaker felt. Respect, professionalism, and clarity matter deeply to us, and when we fall short, we take that seriously. Disrespectful behaviour is not acceptable at DealMaker, regardless of role or tenure. As a former employee, your experience reflects an earlier chapter of the company. Over the past year, we’ve been intentional about clarifying our values, strengthening expectations around communication and behavior, and aligning performance and decision-making more clearly across teams. We’ve also evolved our hiring approach to ensure better alignment upfront, so expectations are clear on both sides. We continue to invest in building a workplace that is transparent, high-standards, and fair as we scale. Feedback like this helps inform that work as we learn and improve. We actively gather feedback through multiple channels and encourage team members to share input with leaders, the People team, or through our ongoing anonymous feedback channel as part of that ongoing effort. We appreciate the time you spent at DealMaker and wish you well in your next chapter.

Pros

Exceptional people with growth mindsets. Visionary CEO and leadership. Challenging Environment Opportunities to learn and grow. My direct manager is super supportive and leads with empathy. You will never be bored here.

Cons

This environment is amazing but it's not for everyone. We are a very ambitious company and we have large goals. We are a fast growth company and that comes with all the fun and challenges of growth. If you are looking for just a job this place isn't for you. Week one and two (and three) can feel like drinking from a firehose. But if you lean in I promise you will adjust.

Pros

There are some great individuals here who are hardworking and genuinely care about what they do. Team members often try to support each other, especially when things get hectic. The company attracts people who are motivated and willing to put in the effort.

Cons

The biggest issue is the lack of consistency. Priorities change frequently, and it can feel like you’re constantly adjusting without a clear sense of direction. What’s important one week can quickly become irrelevant the next, which makes it hard to stay focused or feel productive. There’s also a disconnect between leadership decisions and how they play out day to day. Plans are set at a high level, but the execution often falls on teams that don’t have the clarity or resources needed to succeed. This creates unnecessary stress and inefficiencies. Communication isn’t always transparent, and employees are often left trying to piece things together on their own. Feedback is shared, but it rarely results in visible improvements, which can be discouraging over time. The pace is demanding, and without strong structure or recognition, it leads to burnout. When you factor in concerns around compensation and workload balance, it becomes difficult to see this as a sustainable long-term role.
