Pros
Best work place culture and values I have experienced so far. Senior management is truly made up of great people and live up to their values. Great On boarding experience. Truly approachable people down to earth people from top to bottom of the chain. Founders and most employees are great people, and will help you out of the goodness of their hearts. Has a very good SDR and AE team with truly amazing and qualified people. AE's are tough but fair. Will encourage you and mentor you all the way.
Cons
Just a minor setback: All this amazing talent is being managed by some truly horrible, incompetent, and disorganized Sales managers. Mediocrity is encouraged as long as you conform to their supposed "values"!! Not talking about the actual company values. No mentoring offered or available either from the management. Hides facts. Will not tell the team why they had to let someone go. Deep down they know they are to blame for the high turnover rate in staff. Every week got emails about people leaving. Staff get blindsided when they fire staff without any warning. Finally, a tech company using slack and spreadsheets for booking meetings???You should be ashamed of yourselves!!

- Current Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★
Pros
Working with great people is so important. Everyone is so helpful and encouraging. Benefits and vacation is also good.
Cons
No longer the small tech start up. Salaries no longer increase yearly based on review. Not necessarily in every department but few leaders have the old school mentality where employees are easily replaceable which can bring down morale and cause employees to feel they are not valued or appreciated.

Pros
- Dogs and Snacks, Free Food Thursdays, Multiple social events - ,you had plenty of everything at the Toronto office back in the day - Global offices / teams - Remote work since pandemic
Cons
Where to start? - Large volumes of people willingly leaving - many teams have all brand new people - Everyone who has lead their Diversity "Area" has quit and moved on in the last year; the few who tried to do the work were burnt out and met with so much internal posturing and red tape they just gave up and left. - Female Senior Leaders are a dying breed here = so many have left the organization. Not surprising - Executive Team is 85% White Males, and 10% White Females - Huge growth plans with no real plan to support the teams who have to do all the work (Finance, IT, HR) - Financed to the gills, but still not profitable

- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
No positives outweigh the negatives
Cons
- HR is terribly run, they are terrible individuals that work here that have no idea how to deal with sensitive issues - no chance of getting a promotion here if you are junior, they only care about senior leadership leaving the lower ranked folk to do all the grunt work and heavy lifting - Management cares about one thing and one thing only, using others to make themselves look good - Marketing is a highly political group to work in, most people leave within a year - A complete mess of a company, they have no idea how to execute and perform, can honestly say this is a poorly performing company as a whole - product experience sucks
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
Great people to work with, ambitious
Cons
Dealing with growing pains. Difficult to get projects up and running.
