Hootsuite Reviews

Pros

- Teammates are fantastic and a great bunch of decent people - Perks are not so bad, they are improving - Really good work-life balance - Big user base, so there's demonstrably big impact you can sell at your next opportunity - Good name for your resume

Cons

- CEO sold himself as this affable down to Earth guy, who reads "how to be an anti racist" before bedtime. Reality is that his strategy focused on hyper growth is having a huge human cost, pushing out the little remaining worthy talent we had left. Nothing he says or does inspires confidence anymore. - Our churning rates are at 40%, meaning that out of 100 new people we hired into the workforce in Q1, 60 current employees left (actual highlight of latest all hands). - DE&I is just platitudes and words. Leadership still is, and will continue being, a straight white male sausage fest. Salaries are hugely skewed towards men. Beware if you identify as a woman or are a POC. - CTO keeps bringing in cronies from previous company Sitecore, based in US with big fat salaries. All other department budgets are shrinking.

Pros

Great culture, great products, talented people

Takes too long to make a decision

Pros

Excellent collaboration with managers, peers and other internal teams

Cons

Information regarding the platform is scattered in too many places and it can cause headaches

Pros

Benefits improving recently, RRSP matching a tad bit late but better than never Remote work, trusting managers

Cons

Needs to improve pay structure, too much work for too less a pay when compared to other tech companies Tempted too often to look elsewhere for better growth opportunities

Pros

-Really great team of talented people -Learning-based role to boost career growth -Company has shifted to permanent remote options (with an office option available post-COVID)

Cons

-EXTREME lack of diversity in leadership (mostly white men). The CTO frequently talks about "diverse candidate pools" for leadership positions, but an extremely high percentage of new leaders are white men from his previous company (Sitecore) -Recently hired an SVP of sales who ran for political office on an anti-immigration platform (potentially due to a lack of DE&I checks when hiring leadership) -Lots of lipservice from the leadership team around diversity, equity, and inclusion, but no actual changes -High rate of employee turnover
