Reviews about "work life balance"
Return to all Reviews- Former Intern, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Work life balance, Amazing Culture
Cons
Low compensation, Less number of leaves
Continue reading - Former Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Used to have a laid-back culture, with fun parties, and a strong work-life balance. Some strong leaders passed through for a moment in time.
Cons
New leadership is driving out the last remnants of talent. Clueless product leadership, unwilling to make the hard choices to clean up RH's mess.
- Current Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★
Pros
- Work with smart people on challenging projects - Kind, empathetic co-workers - Pretty good work/life balance - Good Software Development managers - Lots of opportunities for learning and career growth
Cons
- As the company has grown, it has gotten less agile and exciting, more of a corporate feel - Less autonomy for teams, more long term planning, more top-down projects, increasing focus on predictability above all else
Continue reading - Former Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
- Great learning opportunities for those beginning their careers - Developers you get to work with are great people for the most part - Good work/life balance; a pretty social company - Lots of interesting problems that need fixing
Cons
- Management fails to listen to development concerns and continually forces new features despite pretty large issues in underlying systems and development practices - Lack of focus on building quality UI/UX despite their desire to "make UI/UX a differentiator" - CEO is purely in it for himself rather than putting the company first (he's a 45 year old party boy that abuses the office for his own pleasure; ex his party room at the office that only he gets to use) - Past sexism issues that were ignored by multiple levels of management until someone on a completely different team got involved (all but one of these managers are still there)
Continue reading - Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
Very great company culture, work life balance
Cons
No extra benefit for coop
- Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
- Collaborative culture - Work-life balance - Young working force - Interesting problems to solve - Working on scaling problems - Startup mentality
Cons
- Some processes need more maturity - Using obscure or non-industrial languages (e.g., Scala, Go)
Continue reading - Former Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★
Pros
Flexible work culture, with solid work/life balance Lots of great people, everyone is friendly Strong brand recognition
Cons
Very poor leadership - especially at the executive level Lack of transparency from C-Suite and Founder Tons of product issues, and no real strategic direction
- Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
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
- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
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
- Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
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.
