- 1.0May 3, 2023Project LeadFormer Employee, less than 1 year
Pros
Nothing positive to say, besides being able to work remotely.
Cons
Leadership will work you to the bone. Complete disregard for your mental well-being. They create a hostile work environment where bullying runs rampant and is part of the culture.

Pros
Super interesting work, super nice colleagues, remote first work.
Cons
Remote first has some disadvantages. Deadlines can be hard. Management takes a long time to recruit new hires.

2 - 1.0Apr 26, 2022Investment leadCurrent Employee, more than 5 yearsOttawa, ON
Pros
There are no pros, everyone gets worked to the bone.
Cons
Executive management has no idea how the majority of employees feel; the CEO will appoint her friends to executive positions without following proper procedures, and other executives will pressure their employees to post bogus Glassdoor reviews in order to improve the company's dismal Glassdoor scores. The CEOs and the board of directors should be investigated by the government.
6 - 2.0Aug 19, 2021Anonymous EmployeeCurrent Employee, more than 3 years
Pros
The people are great. So are the companies and the mandate.
Cons
Zero career development. Few advancement opportunities, no transparency around open positions and recruitment (ie they just appoint people to roles), no discussion/negotiation around annual increases. You have to watch what you say - independent thought is not encouraged. There is a “rule by fear” vibe that comes straight from the CEO. She is well-known for belittling and bullying staff. There should not be tolerance for that in this day and age.
3 - 5.0May 13, 2021Communications ManagerCurrent EmployeeOttawa, ON
Pros
Excellent Leadership. Clear focus and strategy. Agile. Very considerate of the whole well-being of team members, both through compensation and leadership actions throughout the pandemic to ensure team members felt supported. Small team (50-60 people across Canada) so lots of cross team collaboration and sharing. Lots of opportunities for learning. Focus of our work is supporting entrepreneurs and moving at the speed of business, so lots of challenge and opportunites for personal growth while fulfilling an important mandate.
Cons
It's a busy (but rewwarding) environment.
