Mission: We’re a team of smart, capable people united in our belief of the power of the open Internet. We work at the foundation and build things both real and virtual to make the Internet better.
Including gradual transitions, a lifestyle spending account and more, we strive to provide the best parental leave possible for both mothers and fathers. http://glassdoor.com/slink.htm?key=vMCGw
At Tucows, we allow learners to take courses and earn points that are typically traded in for company swag. In November, we let our learners convert their points into trees to support the recent #teamtrees initiative of planting 20 million trees by 2020. We planted 100+ trees! CSR initiatives don't need to be massive to still be impactful. Here is an article I wrote on "Corporate Social Responsibility: Why Employees Expect You to Give Back" https://www.glassdoor.ca/employers/blog/corporate-social-responsibility-why-employees-expect-you-to-give-back/
We have offices across the globe in the US, Canada, Europe and Southeast Asia. Our team members work one or several of our brands which span domains names, fiber Internet and mobile phone service.
We bring the principles of net neutrality to everything we do and do more every day with who we are. We are the sum total of our efforts. Everything we build, make and do is on the Internet but that’s not the only reason we think the Internet is important.
At Tucows, you’ll work in a relaxed, laid back environment packed with people who are passionate about being part of unlocking the power of the Internet. We know you'll love coming into work but we empower our employees to make their own decisions and manage their time accordingly. Enjoy a true work-life balance with a flexible schedule and the option to work from home. Employees without a defined weekly schedule can find the time that works for them to begin and end their workday. Need to drop the kids off at daycare early? Cool. Want to stay late to accommodate dinner plans? No problem.
At all our locations - and we have many spread across the globe from Canada to the US, to Europe - there is no dress code in effect. You’re free to come to work in as you feel comfortable. We know your outfit doesn't impact your quality of work, so please be comfortably yourself here.
We are looking for people who believe in the endless possibilities of the Internet. We are involved in many exciting verticals that are key to the infrastructure of the Internet we all know and love: domains, fiber, and mobile. We want people who are looking to grow their careers and, in turn, we invest in your personal growth. We have grown to well over 600 employees and over 130 of them have been with us for over 5 years.
Feel like joining the herd is for you? Submit an application to any of our available positions. We can't wait to hear from you!
That’s why we prioritize real work/life balance at Tucows and put wellness first. Make your own schedule with flexible hours and work from home days. Enjoy monthly catered lunches in-office as well as healthy snacks every afternoon.
We have leading benefits packages, educational opportunities, parental leave top-up, work perks and more. We want to see our people thrive in their roles so we host massage days, mental health workshops as well as women’s leadership and diversity speakers in office. Our benefits package includes flexible Lifestyle Spending dollars to go towards wellness purchases our employees choose. This can cover anything from bike repairs to a new mattress to sneakers and vitamins.
People make the place, so we make sure to invest in our people. We’re different from other tech companies. We believe in individuality. We’re a diverse team where people from all generations work together under one roof. We celebrate our differences as well as what we have in common.

I have been working at Tucows full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
Love the work culture. One of the best I have worked in , I have previously worked in 2 of the top 5 IT companies worldwide. But Tucows definitely outshines the previous companies. Values the employees and has a great work life balance.
Cons
None that I can think of.
Advice to Management
Doing a great job.
Application
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Tucows (Toronto, ON).
Interview
Interviewed with my future manager and tech lead. Incredibly rude and condescending. Asked me questions on how to do things and was on such a high horse, nit picking my answers constantly and making me feel like an idiot.
I've worked in the past with huge brands on websites, so I do have a sense of what I'm doing.
Could tell they'd be absolutely miserable to work for. Decided not to continue the interview.
