Pros

The product is great (smart thermostat) and the CEO really cares and has a good heart. Prior to 2021 this was one of the best places to work and so many talented individuals really cared about the company mission.

Cons

The CEO may be one of the few remaining good leaders at the company, but unfortunately, many of those in leadership positions are engaging in harassment and intimidation, causing valuable employees to leave. Despite being brought to the company's attention, toxic leaders are being protected and employees are being blamed. There seems to be a wall of fear protecting certain individuals in positions of power, and the company is not taking steps to address this issue. It appears that the company is too embarrassed to admit the problem and is hoping it will resolve itself or it's financially better to not address it. It's concerning that a company that talks about its commitment to DE&I principles is not following through on them.

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!
