Pros

Central location. Also, it is very very obviously clear who's writing the positive reviews you see here in this page about this company... Don't believe them for a second.

Cons

- They sell themselves as this very put together organization but the second you start working for them you realize the company is not structured at all and processes and procedures will vary and apply to different people based on favouritism which fosters a toxic work environment - People on middle management positions are so clearly overworked and burned out but act like they're not when inside the office but they all vent about it the second they leave. Company tries to keep them happy with silly little events and things in the molds of a "pizza party" but morale is always terrible in the team specially on the lower levels - Micromanagement seems to be in the core value of their culture - The CEO is absolutely disconnected from reality and have made countless tone deaf comments and remarks among the team and it actually quite terrible to see - Very catty workplace. The "girls in the C suite" act like rivalling sisters in this weird family - The guy in the founder role that was mentioned in other reviews is definitely there and it feels like he's in the office to intimidate people and make them always look busy and keep their head down at all times. - Believe the other bad reviews you read here. They're very true.

Pros

Hadn't heard of affiliate marketing before but wanted to get a jump-start on my career in marketing and working with big brands, so when Fintel offered me the position I jumped at it. At Fintel I had access to working with great brands, got to work in the fintech space, and got start-up experience. Company offers good benefits, flexible schedule, fun team activities, and a supportive culture.

Cons

Had a lot of change in accounts I was managing, needed to keep up with different markets and products that change quite a bit. Also had some turnover on the team which put pressure on rest of us. Would like to be able to work with other departments and input into the tech a bit more, but understand it's tough with such a full roadmap.

Pros

Good benefits package. Good location in downtown Vancouver.

Cons

When the most recent positive reviews praise the company's leadership while calling past employees "spoiled," it's loud and clear who the author is. If you're considering applying, read all of the reviews thoroughly. This will give you the most accurate depiction of what it's like to work there. Many of those voices are from team members across departments over the last few years. Their stories are true and valid. I have witnessed with my own eyes the troubling incidents and poor behaviours they've referenced. It's disappointing to see the company attempt to invalidate their experiences by dismissing it as a character flaw. I understand the need for this company to rehab its image if they ever do want to be acquired, but that's not the way to salvage a reputation. If you're reading and are in the application process, take that into consideration. You can decide for yourself if it's worth working at this type of startup.
