Pros

Good entry level job if you cannot land anything else. They have a good idea for product ( with very poor execution). They manage to hire great talented people (and are completely not able to retain them)

Cons

They pay way below the market and try to diminish your qualifications when you ask for a raise. They have questionable business practices and complete lack of respect for the people they hire. They try to promote great startup culture, but they remove startup perks as a mean to "restore discipline". The entire company and it's purpose is just smoke and mirrors.

We pride ourselves as being one of the few startups in North America with an open salary and equity policy and we aim to pay market-rate salaries, benefits along with very generous equity grants. Earlier this summer, our compensation structure was revised by a well-known HR company in the Montreal market and was determined to be at a competitive level for our stage. Our policy is to always listen to employees requests and to revise compensation twice a year. Given the frequency of our reviews, we’ve only had a single case of a salary request prior to a performance review. We are also very happy to provide a very compelling benefits package and amazing perks including a fully-stocked kitchen with premium, company retreat trips, flexible work-hours, remote work policy, and much more. However, our main goal is to keep a balance between flexibility and productivity. In order to ensure that benefits themselves aren’t abused, our managers limit perks only when a specific employee knowingly and repeatedly violates our policies. We created two businesses over the past 6-years and our positive reviews by interns, more experienced full-time employees on Glassdoor, and numerous clients across North America speak for themselves. We’re proud of the alumni that have helped us over the years and frequently see them at company events.

Pros

I used to be a sales rep in Boston and really enjoyed working here. Loved the positive vibe of the team and the guidance managers provided to help me reach my goals!

Cons

Need to move out and I couldn’t work for them anymore from where I was now located. Unfortunately

Pros

The CEO is smart and forward thinking. He shows passion for the company and seems to care for his employees. The CTO is super smart and seems to have a clear vision where he wants the company to go.

Cons

The CRO seems lost. He has little respect for everyone's time. He is late for almost every call, and always runs over the allotted time limit. Long winded more so to hear himself speak as opposed to listening to prospects or employees. The CRO micro-manages everything. I believe he read a book or two on how to sell and now moonlights as an expert. His motto should be to over promise and under deliver. That motto holds true with his employees and prospects. As quickly as a client is signed up they have to break the contract because as the CRO puts it, "they weren't a good fit." In my experience the main issue is what is being promised compared to what is actually doable.
