Pros

- Central downtown Toronto location with transit access - Free snacks/drinks - Occasional company update meetings (pizza and beers?!) - Stock options that *may* become useful - 3 weeks vacay to start - Very good benefits package - Subsidized Goodlife membership

Cons

- Has some disgusting pig who likes using the walls of the men's room for a tissue. Probably the same individual that likes to 'spray and pray' in the general direction of the toilet. - Extremely reactive environment. Makes for rash decisions and lots of time (money) wasting. - Focused on putting out new models of the Same. Damn. Device. every few years instead of improving on the features and benefits of the current suite. - Zero compensation for overtime - Constant need for overtime in most departments - Customer facing information is often out of date or partially incorrect - Training is extremely ad hoc - Zero cross-training opportunities - Company keeps changing office location due to lack of forethought to future growth requirements. - No RRSP/RESP or pension contributions - Stock options that *may* become useful... - No EAP (Employee Assistance Program)

Pros

Co-headquartered in Toronto and Leeds - very cosmopolitan with a high emphasis on DEI.

Cons

Tech company means people love ALLLLL the software. Information and resources are scattered across numerous platforms, which can be pretty frustrating.

Pros

ecobee is a great place to work because of the fantastic culture that exists here. Thanks to transparency from our CEO down, there are multiple teams helping support me in my role and hit my goals. Because there are so many intelligent, driven and willing people, we are able to work together to exceed goals and focus on what is important to our shared success. Many suggestions and support can be given because of it is known by everyone what you are working on and striving for. It also allows for frank conversations about what we can't work on because it would create misalignment with our goals. I am excited to be a part of a company that is constantly innovating, helping the planet, and looking to win in the market. Great time to be an ecopeep!

Cons

Too many great ideas and not enough resources to bring them all to life!
