Lever Reviews

Pros

note: i just finished onboarding. this has been my experience to date. people are super supportive and go out of their way to help you. the sales processes are fairly fleshed out. the training is very comprehensive and responsive to your needs. benefits are there, perks are there, unlimited PTO, expense account. more than that though, the culture is great, very open and transparent, and this is top down. Leadership explicitly wants all levels of the org to be on the same page. Money is there, and the numbers are realistic. Really lovely people to work with.

Cons

remote working environment is not for the faint of heart, some processes aren't finished. you have to be able to learn on your feet and think mindfully. be prepared to go the extra mile if you want to move the needle. work life balance is there, but I end up working super late out of my own volition.

Pros

During the interview process, I had the BEST candidate experience. I could tell that the team really cared about my candidacy and all of my interviewers took the time to get to know my background and what I am looking for in my next opportunity. After signing my offer it just got better, as I received an amazing welcome email from the entire company. Onboarding has been so awesome, even during Covid times! I truly feel like I am part of a company that REALLY cares for their employees. I recently attended my first "All Hands" (Town Hall), and appreciated how transparent the CEO, Nate, was with the entire team. The company has been cash flow positive, even during these uncertain/Covid times, so that also speaks volumes on how the company is being run!

Cons

No cons yet. Keep up the good work!

Pros

- Transparency from the leadership team to the entire company - Intelligent coworkers who are happy to help but also give you the autonomy to try things on your own first - Working with world class companies to solve their hiring problems and develop talent analytics strategies - Creative work building custom dashboards, feel like I'm learning a lot about Tableau best practices - Moving towards remote work / mixed model permanently, so lots of flexibility to work where you want without being chained to the office - Excellent benefits package, one of the best I've seen on the market

Cons

- Still working out some bugs with the technology stack, but Engineering / Leadership are aware of the issues and are working to resolve them

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

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.
