Hootsuite Reviews

Cons

No growth in position, hard to climb ladder

Cons

The Toronto expansion has been a failure at best. Low sales, high turn over and incompetent management. I can not speak on behalf of the other global offices since each location and department is very siloed. However, the Toronto office has been a major bust. Do your career and sanity a favour and stay clear., otherwise you will see what failure really looks like.

Cons

Too much good food in the area (I'm getting fat and poor)
No childcare and few fellow parents
With lots going on, your plate of work to do is always full and then some.

Cons

Below market pay, poor benefits, slowing growth, high rate of turnover, egotistical CEO who spends his time on "thought leadership" rather than actual leadership.

Cons

- broculture (bad)
- HR is useless
- It's all politics
- CEO is a homophobic sexist who is more concerned with self promotion and partying
- Poor leadership across the board (especially sales)
- high turnover
- very poor at change management

They brand themselves differently as to what they actually are. All the "cool", "hipster", flex hour etc vibe is all dependent on being a favourite; there are different rules for different people. Do not expect anything to be confidential or for HR to do anything that is actually HR. I have a difficult time taking HR seriously when they participate in offsite activities in which hallucinogens are openly served and condoned. How can they be objective in the workplace after grinding with staff in a pit at an offsite event? Where are the boundaries? Most activities revolve around alcohol and drinking in excess.

There is no substance behind the traditional office perks, which probably appeals to those with little work experience and think fresh fruit is cool. They always say they are "transitioning from a startup to a global company" but the constant "growing pains" from this "transition" is really an excuse for bad behaviour, bad decisions and incompetence - the fact is they don't appropriately address the bad behaviour (from people they like) and have little structure in the way of policies or direction. Sales "leadership" is TERRIBLE and has made numerous inappropriate and degrading comments to staff. Favouritism is huge here with many people getting jobs because they know or are friends with leadership.

They endorse and publicize the "employee manifesto" and the concept of #BSU when the reality is this: you can only BSU and offer your opinion if you're a favourite and part of the clique. If you BSU and you aren't a favourite you'll be fired after awhile. Also, the manifesto was made years ago by employees who have likely left the organization; it's outdated and doesn't reflect who they REALLY are. It's mainly for publicity.

Cons
