Pros

Great time off Great vacation RRSP matching

Cons

There’s been a shift in the company/culture since the beginning of the year. The companies in trouble and will definitely face some financial issues if the course is not corrected. Before it was about the people that worked there - now it’s about how much can we put on your plate before you burn out. The word ‘growth mindset’ has been thrown around like an old rag. No chance of actually giving you the opportunity to prove your growth mindset. During these last 2 months we’ve had at least 10 resignations and possibly close to 10 “firings”. Every week someone is announcing it’s their last day or it already was and we didn’t know because their slack was deactivated when we went to message. (Yeah they don’t let you know) We don’t need courses/lessons/activities/town halls about growth mindset - we need action, developers need to develop. That’s the problem. None of the engineers are synced with the NA side. Be aware it USED to be a great company to work for, checked LinkedIn look how many former employees left in the last 3 months

Pros

Wagepoint is a remote-only company, but they truly take it to the next level by letting employees work their own timezones, offering flexible time off or schedule adjustments when personal things come up, and don't force meticulous time tracking since they trust employees to get the work done. One of Wagepoint's primary value props is that customers are supported by the friendliest staff in Canadian payroll. However, this expands far beyond customer support, and is an integral part of the culture at Wagepoint. I've never been able to work with such friendly and curious individuals. You always feel like you matter and people are always willing to help. Growth is encouraged. Every company is trying to grow, and Wagepoint is no different. And with growth can come headache whether its short staff, skimped compensation or raises, being asked to do more with less, etc. Wagepoint is definitely in a growth stage, but have managed to navigate this growth in a way that doesn't burden employees with the items I've mentioned above, and instead empowers them to learn new skills, bring up fresh ideas, and collectively, work together to help grow the company. It's a very refreshing experience compared to other tech companies I've worked at.

Cons

Benefits can be a tad expensive and it'd be great to have some 401k matching for U.S.-based employees.
