Hootsuite Reviews

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

> A good line to have on your CV > Good work/life balance > Decent location for the offices > Decent benefits

Cons

> Still rests on the laurels of its heyday - but there's a lot of things wrong with both the way the company is ran and the product > No confidence in team members - favorites are played > You come in with big ideas to change things and meet a lot of resistance and dead ends

Pros

Decent pay, benefits and people

Cons

Desperately trying to sell products that people often don't need in order to keep investing in sales instead of improving anything else

Pros

Casual working environment and dog friendly office with flexibility when needing to work from home.

Cons

Hootsuite has a lot of Cliques

Pros

Organic fruits! Yum! Small gym, yoga room, Quarterly team building events

Cons

I'm still new in Finance (quite a few of us so no fear in being candid!) and there's a general sense of lack of direction. I often see weird changes to processes week after week. We sort of know what we are supposed to work on but don' seem eager to support each other. I see some girls constantly giggling and having fun as if they would definitely be safe from next round of cuts. But I keep hearing the severance package...

Advice to Management

This company is a really fun place to be but the top seems to have lost focus on how to use resources. The over-spending by sales staff is insane especially in their travel expenses and if they want to get cash flow neutral again, why keep so many peeps in People just to carry out a few initiatives and courses? How does that help with financial objectives and avoid another mass lay-off?

Pros

- There are helpful and friendly people in the office - The office location is good for those who want to use public transportation

Cons

- Promotion happens only based on relationship with the executive team not based on your performance - The salary is lower than the market

Pros

Dog-friendly office with flexible working environment. Great learning and development opportunities. You get to work with customers all over the world across many industries. Great for entry or junior levels to grow their skillset + career.

Cons

High employee turnover rate. Lack of strategic direction and alignment. Evident divide between product and customer-facing teams. A lot of broken systems and poor data = poor customer (and employee) experiences. Lack of diversity and inclusion (especially at senior-level roles).

Advice to Management

Foster more cross-departmental collaboration, listen to customers and actually do something with their feedback.

Pros

-Lots of cool people to meet -Central office location -Perks substantial

Cons

-Lower than average salaries -C-level staff inaccessible

Advice to Management

Transparency would be your friend.
