Opencare Reviews

Pros

- Well-protected culture even while scaling teams quickly - Leadership understands the value developing sustainable growth through processes & systems over "just hitting targets" - Extremely flexible and generous L&D programs for personal development, not once has someone said no to something I wanted to go for (also, any courses or books you want are funded by OC) - Awesome people! Everyone from sales to engineering...

Cons

- We're outgrowing our office space (definitely a positive though!) - It's only been stellar so far!

Advice to Management

Keep protecting the culture, grassroots approach, and hiring rockstars for our team!

Pros

I have been working on the Opencare engineering team for less than a year and I'm happy to say that everything that was sold to me in the interview process is true (and then some). It's an incredibly dedicated team of passionate people who want to do things the right way and are constantly looking to improve. We have a great product that solves an interesting problem the business vision is clearly defined so its easy...

Cons

It's a start up so things move fast and you have to juggle multiple priorities. for some this is an exciting challenge and an environment in which they can thrive and for others this can be overwhelming. If you want to work here recognize where you are on that scale but if you're passionate about what you do and are eager to learn and grow then know you'd be joining a team of like minded people who want to support you...

Advice to Management

Keep doing all the things you're already doing - you've created such a special little pocket in the toronto tech scene! I believe in the future of this company and product and i'm excited to see what else will happen in my time here (which will be long)!

Pros

The team at Opencare are some of the most thoughtful and talented individuals I've ever met! A lot of people speak about "hiring people that are smarter than you" but Opencare is the first place I've really seen this become reality. Everyone is involved in major decision making from day 1, and there is complete transparency about all aspects of the company (including the full financials) to ensure everyone is a true...

Cons

Hiring does take a long time (due to the focus on hiring people that add to the culture) which means there are some gaps on the team for a while. This can place strain on teams but the managers do try to provide insight and visibility into the work being done to address it. The fast pace of work can lead to rapid changes in direction and de-prioritized work. This is to be expected in a start up but can be frustrating...

Advice to Management

Continue to think and look critically at the business and avoid getting swept up in your own hype. You're building something very special and we're excited to be along for the journey! Continue to share freely and speak openly about decisions and changes, it makes a huge difference to the team.

Pros

This is by far the most intelligent, genuine, and passionate group of people I have had the chance to work with. Being at Opencare has been inspiring, and has made me fall in love with what I do more than ever before. Highlights: *incredible personal and professional growth opportunities eg access to a performance psychologist on a regular basis, hard work is rewarded (promotions as early as 6 months in) *the...

Cons

*typical startup growing pains - every day presents a new challenge, process is constantly under construction, and you have to be scrappy

Advice to Management

Keep doing what you're doing!

Pros

- An extremely efficient team, minimal redundant process - People here are really smart and genuine, very good at what they are doing, love to share, trust each other. They are one of the major reason that I am happy at work every day. - A very diverse team so you can learn a lot of interesting things from them - Founders are open, transparent, honest, leading the team towards a good direction

Cons

- Things are less structural, less organized - People are self-starter so if you need a lot of guidance then probably here is not the most suitable place for you - High pressure, fast pace, come on, it's a startup!

Advice to Management

- Please continue to keep the transparent, open and honest culture, open to new /different ideas. - We can only perform at our best when we feel the lowest level of threads and be able to speak up. It's important that we can continue to learn from failure, instead of hiding them and only BS about the shiny achievements.

Pros

A team of incredibly smart and committed people. It's an amazing place to grow and be a part of something exciting. Team emphasis on data, and adapting business flow based on that data makes it a very stimulating and constantly changing environment to work in. Rigorous hiring process centered around culture means that everyone in the office is really humble, approachable, and open to communication.

Cons

Can't think of any cons.

Advice to Management

Keep doing what you're doing!

Pros

Extreme focus on culture and employee growth. Founder 1-on-1s have been incredibly helpful in discovering and improving areas of both strength and weakness. 100% genuine, intelligent, drama-free employees. Everyone is here to work to the best of their ability. Constantly challenging the “right” way to do things. Problems of last month become strengths the month after.

Cons

The only con to working here is length of meetings since everyone has lots to share. Actively trying to work on succinct communication & meeting style.

Pros

Incredibly smart and talented team, full of humble and sincere people Founders are invested in your growth and push you out of your comfort zone Company is working on meaty problems that can have a very positive impact Team is constantly looking for ways to improve processes and evolve to increase productivity. Very rigorous hiring process means that we bring on not only talented people but also people who are a great...

Cons

Still a relatively young team, so processes are always evolving. Need to be able to thrive on change.
