Vantaggi

- Friendly colleagues and managers - Interesting product and challenges - Lot of opportunities to learn

Svantaggi

- No longer founder run (it is run by investors who are a private equity company) - both founders have left the company and the company has gotten worse since they left - 25% of the company was laid off abruptly - Pay is below market for engineering/product people - Stock option plan is grossly misleading. Does not follow the standard 4 year vesting schedule with a 1 year cliff. Do not join purely based on options they give you. - Goals are set based on what the investors care about with very little attention paid to what users want - Management is pushing RTO since they bought a fancy new office and are now trying to justify the expense. This is a joke. Most of the management don't live in Montreal and when they come to Montreal they stay in fancy hotels right near the office and expect the rest of us to commute 2 hours a day

Vantaggi

The company operates in an interesting space at the intersection of gaming, advertising, and mobile user engagement. The product and engineering teams are talented and motivated, and there are opportunities to work on technically complex projects. Fast-paced startup environment where employees can gain exposure to multiple functions. Some colleagues were supportive and collaborative.

Svantaggi

In my experience, the legal function operated under very tight managerial control, which made it difficult to exercise independent judgment or develop strategically. Communication within leadership could at times feel dismissive or confrontational, which created an uncomfortable work environment. The management style I encountered felt highly micromanaged, with limited autonomy. Feedback and direction were sometimes delivered in ways that felt disrespectful or discouraging, which negatively affected morale. Overall culture within the team did not consistently foster psychological safety or open dialogue.
