Flipp Reviews

Pros

- Flipp is a company that absolutely stays true to who it is. The founders and execs have built a culture that is lasting and they invest in their people and teams. - Flipp really is the type of company that will make room for you to grow if you showcase your value. If you raise your hand and show that you're willing to work hard, Flipp will make space for you to do your thing. I have always had my coaches be receptive...

Cons

- Like any startup, Flipp has gone through growing pains. There have been company pivots in strategy and vision and there have been times where changes in company strategy have affected the company in challenging ways. The ability to pivot and be agile is important here and I can see how the pace can be a challenge.

Advice to Management

Continue to bring in experienced outside leadership (already making strides in this area) who can help shape the overall vision for Flipp. Additionally, continue to invest in more junior level employees who are looking to grow their careers into the management level.

Pros

CEO rules with an iron fist. People that don't understand should leave, I've learned so much from him and I can't thank him enough for his tutelage. When people confront you, just bury them in work until their complaint is no longer relevant. When you confront others and they ask you to justify it, just let them know that they don't understand, belittle them until they no longer have the will to contradict you. Brilliant!...

Cons

How could a place like this have any cons? It's been an amazing journey, I just hope that I can survive to see the next phase of brilliance.

Advice to Management

Keep on doing what you're doing. As you've said, we must be relentless with your vision and we can't let things like facts slow us down.

Pros

Flipp is a great place for people who are really focused on team work and who want to build authentic relationships and solve massive problems. We all work very hard and I've been so impressed with the calibre of people around me every day. We work really hard to hold our standards high so we do have a work hard play hard culture. We've grown through the years and we're not a young startup anymore - that comes with...

Cons

There are lots of places to improve at Flipp like any organization. We could improve the way we look at our benefits like Goodlife, or the way that we do performance evaluations as there aren't any perfect ways to do that yet but we're looking to make it better.

Advice to Management

Keep being humble, and keep driving improvements. We can only get better if we stay humble constantly.

Pros

Many organizations say they have 'great people'; 'no politics'; they "care about making a difference" - this is a truly authentic company that cares. The people are amazing and it doesn't matter what level or title you have, people listen and act on it. There's so much opportunity and it's exciting every day! I also believe there are amazing benefits to help with everyday stresses: we have on site massage, physio,...

Cons

There's so much opportunity and so many great people that we want to accomplish so much. We need to prioritize and slow things down. It's amazing for learning and growing but it can be busy.

Advice to Management

Stay true to values, principles and focus on people. Slow things down a bit.

Pros

- Management cares about the people who work here and has built an open and transparent culture. The new leaders we've hired also seem consistent with the culture that we have. - The business is healthy and the product has come along way but still has much more to improve but that's what I'm excited about. - In most roles, there is a lot of opportunity for ownership - the new mission based teams that we rolled...

Cons

We've done alot of rework on our technology to make it faster to move, but there is much more to be done.

Advice to Management

I'd encourage management to make sure we continue to invest in things that will make it faster for us to dev.

Pros

Collaboration with some brilliant people. Challenging tasks. Flexible work schedule. Casual and fun atmosphere. Free snacks, and I live in Mississauga so commute is great.

Cons

Fast-paced -- sometimes too much so and need to keep up with it. Not enough time to think carefully about the best answer to problems.

Advice to Management

More recognition and reward programs may be good.

Pros

Food, Pay, Culture, Tech, and Games

Cons

Nothing to do sometimes, Bored easily, Coaching, Slow ticket processing, Still like a startup

Advice to Management

More things to do

Pros

Our founders are successful entrepreneurs who are inspiring through their relentless drive and passion. They have infused an owners culture across the company. This means that every member, regardless of position, department or tenure, has an opportunity to make a meaningful impact and has a mindset to win together. Department leads have the ability to create and shape their function from the ground up with autonomy and...

Cons

Flipp isn't for everyone - we are very driven, encouraged to look at ways to solve problems in a different way and work closely together to drive results. Team members need to roll up their sleeves to dig into the work. If you're not up for that, you won't be a fit.

Advice to Management

The company is still in a high growth phase, so the leadership team must continue to be laser focused on preserving and scaling the culture – that’s what really differentiates the company.
