RecommendsPositive OutlookI have been working at Agility PR Solutions full-time for more than a year
Pros
A reasonably flat org structure makes it easy to implement new ideas. Everyone in the company is supportive of everyone else, there is definitely a great team mentality. Work-life balance is as good as it can be. Overall it's a great place to work.
Cons
I honestly can't think of any significant cons. In the past departments tended to stick to themselves. Currently, with everyone working remotely, HR and senior management are doing a good job of keeping all of us informed.
Thank you for sharing your experience at Agility PR Solutions. We’re very glad that you‘ve recognized the team-focused culture that we all work hard to strengthen. We’re pleased that you appreciate the creative and collaborative team at Agility PR Solutions. We are happy that you think it’s a great place to work, including a good work-life balance and regular communications. That's excellent feedback. We also understand that there’s room for us to improve, so we’re working hard to continue to provide transparent company communications, as well as more opportunities for individuals to reach their training and development goals to further their careers. Thank you for everything that you‘ve contributed to Agility PR Solutions. We look forward to your continued success. -Marcus, HR

Pros
All departments are treated like equal and valuable members of a team. Culture is welcoming with lots of effort made to recognize good work. Business decisions are based on data with long-term success in mind. Company measures up well against big competitors - clients often mention good product usability and strong customer service. Feel like my ideas are heard and treated as important. Appreciate seeing strong female representation at the executive level. Bonus: dog-friendly office makes for a nice environment!
Cons
The software and PR industries are fast paced, so projects do come up that require extra hours. Managers are reasonable about compensations for this.

We are pleased that you took the time to submit your experience working with Agility PR Solutions – thank you. While there's still lots to work on, we are glad that you appreciate the equitable and professional atmosphere that are key to our work culture. We’re glad that you understand how decisions are being made by our leadership, and that you feel part of the team and our successes. We understand that working at Agility PR Solutions is not a fit for everyone (we work very hard, and require that every member of the team be incredibly agile and collaborative in what they do), so we are constantly working to ensure that everyone is equipped with the tools and resources (and time away from work) that they need to succeed in their role at Agility. It's encouraging to hear that you find your manager to be sensitive to your needs and supportive of your work potential. Thank you for being part of team that is shaping Agility PR Solutions as the best place possible to work! - Marcus, HR

"Time Management Pros"
RecommendsI have been working at Agility PR Solutions full-time for less than a year
Pros
Management is approachable and communication is excellent. Culture is positive and maintains accountability as everyone strives for excellence. Personal learning and development goals are supported and encouraged. Healthy Work-life balance is encouraged and supported (for real) by leaders and teams.
Cons
If you are a driving commuter parking is costly.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience working with Agility PR Solutions. While we do have room to improve, we’re thrilled that you recognize how amazing our team is and see the value in a culture that is built on every individual’s well-being and on developing potential. The positive environment that we have collectively built at Agility is something we care about, too. While the city of Ottawa refines our public transit options, commuting can be a challenge. We do have several parking alternatives available within our community, so we hope you reach out to learn more about them. Thank you for sharing your feedback – we hope that you continue to contribute your perspective to our development. - Marcus, HR

None at all. Complete chaos.
Cons
terrible coworkers, even worse management, nobody knows what they're doing, the job description did not match the day to day efforts of the job. Overall waste of time. and ridiculously long and pointless interview process.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience working with Agility PR Solutions. We are committed to creating a comfortable, transparent, and productive work environment for all our employees, so when we read your feedback, we were disappointed to hear that your experience while you worked with us was anything less. While we do not believe that your experience is the typical Agility PR Solutions employee experience, we have taken your feedback to heart and we are saddened to know that you have left with negative thoughts and feelings about our team. While we understand that working at Agility PR Solutions is not a fit for everyone (we work very hard, and require that every member of the team be incredibly agile and collaborative in what they do), we are constantly working to refine both our selection process, as well as our onboarding and training initiatives, to better identify great candidates for our team and to set them up with the tools and resources that they need to succeed in their role once they are part of Agility. We regret that our goal was not achieved in your case. Thank you for your feedback – we sincerely wish you a better fit in your next role, and all the best for your career. - Marcus, HR

"Solid Tech Company With Fantastic Work Life Balance"
- Work/Life Balance★★★★★
- Culture & Values★★★★★
- Career Opportunities★★★★★
- Compensation and Benefits★★★★★
- Senior Management★★★★★
RecommendsApproves of CEOI have been working at Agility PR Solutions full-time for more than a year
Pros
- Flexible work hours for office-time appointments, working from home etc. (this largely depends on your manager, but I think most are pretty good about this) - Very rare to work overtime/evenings etc. (again, this depends on your department, but in marketing it's almost never). Very good work-life balance. - Nice brightly lit office with lots of windows for natural light, and fairly open concept. - Location in very nice neighbourhood (Westboro) right next to transit way/LRT and overtop of a grocery store, gym, coffee shop, and daycare centre. -Monthly Lunch'n'Learns and lots of staff events and initiatives (potlucks, Christmas party, Summer BBQ, contests, raffles etc.) - Friendly leadership team
Cons
- Very few. I would say any that exist are common across all tech companies - As is common with most tech companies, there is a somewhat high turnover, particularly in sales. - As with most tech companies, there can be a lot of change, with staff, products, budgets etc. (although this isn't always a bad thing).

We are pleased that you took the time to submit your experience working with Agility PR Solutions. – thank you. While we have things to work on, we are glad that while you worked with us you sensed the positive team energy and professional atmosphere that we've worked hard to make part of our workplace. It is true that we have a very hardworking Client Success team, and when it comes to early work hours, they have to shine bright and early! We understand that the demands of our early client deliverables can be a challenge that our bean-to-cup coffee machine, and some telecommuting days, help to offset the logistics of getting into the office early for that team. We appreciate everything that you did for Agility while you were here, and your feedback allows us to continue to work hard to make it the best place possible to work. -Marcus, HR
