      Pros

      - Great individual contributors who genuinely care and try to make life better. - Great for co-ops, associates and juniors who are looking to learn from experienced colleagues. - Business is doing great.

      Cons

      - Below market pay. - Substandard benefits. - No bonus, rrsp or any pay structure other pay than base salary. - Lack of diversity - Even less diverse management - Even less diverse executive team - Untrustworthy HR representatives - Silo'd - Mismanaged departments that change organization multiple times a year. - Unsupported leadership. - Will outsource projects and work while laying off workers all in the name of staying afloat even though it has been the most profitable two years in the company's recent history. - Mismanaged teams who change leadership multiple times a year. - Bleeding senior talent and unable to retain experienced engineers. - Learning is not a priority - No growth opportunities and will generally be judged according to your worst value that may not even have a direct impact to your work or is even part of your job description as opposed to the value you bring to and achieve for the organization. - I think what disappoints me the most is ecobee talks the talk so well that it took me 3 years to figure out that it never walked the walk to begin with.

      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!
