Pros

Neovation is a gem in Winnipeg. Dan, the CEO is an outstanding leader and great professional. I enjoyed every single day of work at Neovation, and I truly miss some people I met over there. Great culture, good benefits, great policy for diversity and inclusion, and real work-life balance. They really care about its employees and treat you like family.

Cons

At the time I worked there, wages could've been better. However, I hear this has changed to keep up up with market trends.

Pros

1. Supportive and compassionate management that genuinely listens. 2. Feedback is valued and often leads to real improvements. 3. Collaborative and respectful work environment. 4. Great team culture with many kind, talented individuals. 5. High level of tolerance and understanding across departments.

Cons

1. The company can be a bit too WOKE at times. Expect a lot of emphasis on pronouns and progressive messaging. 2. If you're more conservative, the culture here might feel preachy or frustrating. 3. There's some hypocrisy — leadership talks a lot about inclusion and listening, but at the end of the day, profit comes first, even if it's at your expense! 4. A lot of local roles have been replaced by cheaper overseas hires, which can be discouraging for Canadian employees. 5. Salaries are on the lower end, especially considering the workload and expectations.

Thank you for your rating and positive words! It's a bit ironic that you say that our "high level of tolerance and understanding" is a great aspect of our culture, but always say that we are too "woke" (whatever that means). We strive to be good to people - inside and outside of the company. If by conservative you mean the bullying of minorities.. then yes, we are definitely not that and hopefully never will be. We side with the little gal. We protect the weaker ones. And yes, we're a company, so we need to ensure that we are profitable! This shouldn't be a surprise. :) As you know, we set our remuneration strategy to target the median for a position, given the level of capability of the person, within their country of residence. I'm very happy that we can transparently review ratings on sites like payscale and demonstrate how we set our remuneration levels. I'm thinking that you were let go earlier this year, and i'm sorry for the impact of that, but I definitely wish you the best!

Pros

If you do a good job, you can be left mainly to yourself. They like to give the illusion of an inclusive environment.

Cons

If you're looking for a workplace where morale goes to die, creativity is stifled, and genuine leadership is a myth, look no further. This company is a masterclass in micromanagement, with "managers" who excel at feigning concern while stripping their staff of all autonomy and dignity. Every task is scrutinized to an inch of its life, leaving employees feeling like cogs in a joyless, suffocating machine. The smiles on the leadership team are as plastic as their promises, and their disregard for employee well-being is palpable. This isn't a place where careers flourish; it's a revolving door where good people are chewed up and spit out, often without warning, making job security a cruel joke. Save yourself the stress, the sleepless nights, and the inevitable termination notice (or mass firing as has become their new preferred method). There are countless better places to invest your time and talent. The CEO is only interested in hiring contractors from parts of the world where he can pay them far less and leave them without benefits while firing people who genuinely do good work.

Hi there - i'm sorry that you feel negatively towards your experience with us. While it's true that we did have to perform reductions during the recent economic crisis, I'm pleased to see that we're back to a growth trajectory. As the CEO, I can tell you that I am very pleased that as a remote company, we can hire folks from around the world. As a company seeking global clients, I believe this is the right approach for us. I wish you the best in finding your next opportunity, and hope that it is a better fit.
