Pros
Early days Hootsuite was a high energy, fun, collaborative company where new ideas were valued and everyone could get behind a common goal. It seems most of their growing pains are behind them, and after a couple years of turmoil and high employee churn the new CEO and leadership have stabilized the ship and focused on employees and customers instead of their own ambitions.
Cons
Between 2014-2017 the company was constantly pivoting between focusing on the enterprise vs. self-serve market. It took them 3 years to decide on the Enterprise SMB niche as their sweet-spot. This was the cause of tremendous growing pains, largely attributable to the CEO's inability to make up his mind. This was reflected in the string of failed acquisitions (Brightkit, Zeetl, Adespresso, Liftmetrix) and failed expansions (Singapore, Brazil, Industry Principal team, etc.) While most of these issues seem to be in the past, there is still one lingering large issue at Hootsuite: their development team has almost no connection to customers, and is not accountable to customer success. Their product team never talked to customers. Things like customer advisory boards, customer facing roadmap feedback sessions, product ownership of showstopping critical bugs, etc. Were never implemented. As a result the product team is often building product in a vacuum, caring only about cool new projects that can further their careers rather than maintaining critical functionality customers rely on.

Pros
• A lot of growth opportunities! From our stretch program, learning budgets, Hootsuite Academy, projects, internal roles and company growth - there are a lot of ways you can grow and learn here. Also, reach out to anyone on the Learning team to find out about more courses/professional development. • Company benefits - include RSP matching, lifestyle spending account, and all vision/dental/health coverage. • Sense of community. Everyone is very supportive here, inclusive, collaborative and such a great bunch of peeps. Very much a sense of belonging • Flexibility in your role - we're beyond the state of a startup but there's still tons of flexibility and innovation in your role. Own it! • the Talent Acquisition team is beyond words. We're such a fun team, everyone is very supportive. The Chief of People(Tara) is very involved in all areas of the company (not just the People team) and really listens to the Owls and what we want • Strong DEI initiatives. We're not performative! There's a ton of ways we foster DEI and a sense of belonging. Chat with the People team or a Recruiter about all things DEI.
Cons
It's great here! But if you don't like being in a busy environment or can't have an agile work mindset - this isn't for you. You'll always be challenged and busy in your role at Hootsuite.
