Lever Reviews

Pros

Company It started from my very first interaction with Lever, not even working there yet and I fell in love with the culture! I worked at my fair share of SaaS company (including major global player) and Lever has hands down, one of the best hiring processes I've ever experienced. Toronto being the first international office outside of the US, has been a major blessing and success for the company! Not only have we been able to create an amazing culture and cultivate a tribe of exceptional people, the team has been exceeding expectations on all fronts - Sales, Customer Success, Talent Acquisition and R&D! Fully embracing Toronto's stands on diversity, we have people on the team that relocated all the way from all around the globe (including myself) South Africa, the UK, the US and Germany to join the team here. Great benefits, generous WFH and holiday policies and great wellness perks! Many trips to our HQ in San Francisco, to connect and collaborate with our counterparts and or enjoy a company getaway at Lake Tahoe in the summer! The role - Fantastic product which I 100% believe in, which makes it easy to sell - Competitive Pay - Realistic Quota Attainment and therefore great way to overachieve and hit accelerators It's not just professionals working together, great friendships have formed beyond the scope of the office, particularly noticeable during a pandemic when we all showed up for each other in many many ways.

Cons

Establishing a new office is already challenging enough, doing it in a different country - a whole different story. Structure and processes weren't necessarily in place yet, so growing pains were definitely present. The workload can be very demanding because Lever's customer base is growing quickly globally, so you need to be willing to put in the work to be successful.

Pros

- Top SaaS company in Toronto - Great team environment. Lots of energy. Come and meet the people here and you'll fall in love with Lever Toronto - Product is killing it in the market - New CSM team in Toronto and we are still growing... perfect chance to leave a legacy and bring impact - Exciting time for the company and the team. LOTS OF ENERGY!! - There are some negative reviews on glassdoor but to be honest I don't feel that way at all in this office... we have good leaders here and I'm excited to go to work everyday!

Cons

- Lots of work to do, it's not a place for someone who wants a 9-5 environment.

Pros

The company values those who commit and work hard. You get what you give, so be ready to work hard and it will pay off. There are interesting opportunities for growth, and they pay attention to your potential.

Cons

Like any organization, there is constant change. You've got to be willing to roll with it or you won't enjoy working here.

Pros

There are some nice people that work there.

Cons

I left a really good company to pursue a role at Lever that I thought would expand my skill set and career potential. Everything looked great on paper in terms of them being a forward thinking HR tech company, expanding in Canada and branding themselves as an organization with strong values and care for employees. The day before I was supposed to start my training program, they informed me via conference call that due to "business conditions" and the need to pivot quickly as an organization, they would be rescinding my offer. Their actions left me jobless and what felt weird about the whole experience was how they practically justified their action as being par for the course as a startup business. As someone with a strong network in the Toronto tech start-up space, I can tell you this is not normal. In fact, it's extremely rare and every single person who I told this story too was shocked and disgusted.

Pros

Let's start with Lever's best-in-breed, design centric, revolutionary suite of products all dedicated to talent acquisition. I have worked in some highly recognized companies before Lever, and none of them came close to Lever in terms of the on-boarding experience. I hope that other companies can look at Lever as a role model for creating a culture of inclusion and diversity, true collaboration spirit, and one where you feel empowered to learn and grow!

Cons

Not applicable what so ever !

Pros

They have start up money which in turn is passed on to their employees. They attempt to offer the usual perks that one expects with a silicon valley job.

Cons

Honestly, they do not know how to run a company. This is not only from a financial point of view but from an actual HR one. They are incredibly high on them selves which can be good but any attempt to suggest improvement is shut down. They shout inclusiveness from the rooftop but only to certain groups.
