Pros
This has been my most favorite workplace ever!! I am telling 101% truth here. Extremely good work-life balance, get in just before 8 and disappear before 4:15. Team Managers are cool and we often troll each other for fun. Amazing snacks and fruits!! The gym is small and smelly but functional! Free yoga and fitness classes! Also free courses provided by HR on how to behave and interact around here. Easy brownie points!...
Show MoreCons
Hardly any honestly. No weird politics, just trolling around. There will be stressful periods but you gotta know how to push for extra temps. Why kill yourself right? It's just a job guys... I believe most complainers here have nothing better to do or just never satisfied despite their fat pay cheques. Not a single one person I know ever complained about pay and workload. Sales peeps just getting too greedy!
Advice to Management
Loving the fun culture here so keep it up!! Do whatever it takes to keep your head above the water! I do plan on sticking around for next 8-10 years after a couple mat leaves.

Pros
Great people and team. Managers on this team are good and most have been with the company for a while. Work life balance is good.
Cons
After a couple months in this role many people realize it is not what it was made out to be in the interview process. Not many perks or benefits for working at Hootsuite. CAE team is underpaid compared to industry standards

Pros
Seems like it was fun and may have had potential 4 or 5 years ago. Vacation, work/life and TRAVEL
Cons
The Old Guard is stuck in startup land, and well established and protected which makes it pretty much impossible for new people to make changes.
Advice to Management
They need to let the past go and allow some of the new experienced people bring some life back into the business.

Pros
Great place to work. You can set up meetings with anyone (seniors, directors) and gain valuable knowledge from these encounters that you would otherwise not be able to do in a larger company. Fosters a growth mindset. Great work/life balance. People are into being healthy and trying new things.
Cons
It's pretty much career limiting to not be social so if you like to just come in and not talk to anyone, it will not work out. Company getting bigger and more structured so growing out of its startup culture abit.
Advice to Management
Continue to lead with humility and set good examples.

Pros
Amazing caliber of worker bees. Everyone tries hard to make the company successful. Lots of resources to help salespeople be successful.
Cons
The CEO is so hell bent on getting his exit that after the unsuccessful attempt to sell the company for a price he felt it was worth, they continued hiring like mad just before leading up to a major layoff. What kind of company keeps hiring at full tilt only to lay off people a few weeks down the road? And just so that they can pretty up the balance sheet and make it look more attractive to buyers? Let's just...

Maybe try focusing on building the kind of company people want to stay at, rather than a company you can sell. Treating people as dispensable is never a good long term play.
