Vantaggi

snacks, swanky half empty office with lots of room for tag or hide and go seek, nice downtown location close to public transit, building has amenities, transport stipend, lots of social work events if you want to hang with 22 year olds

Svantaggi

There is a complete lack of clear direction in every department. The lack of alignment within senior leadership bleeds down to every level. People are competitive and not collaborative and most work revolves around elevating some internal resume for fear of losing one's job, not to elevate the product or customer experience. High turnover (both voluntary and involuntary). The last estimate at 10% I saw on here is WAY low. Last I checked it was 25% in the last year. If you want to make an impact this is a very frustrating environment however if politicking, people pleasing and accepting the status quo suit you, this is the place. Regular bouts of open public crying in front of management is considered normal. Any questioning or asking why is considered abrasive and not being a team player.

We are rallied around a shared strategy that we revisit in our bi-weekly stand up’s, we post our real-time stats throughout the office and encourage employees to seek clarity in their 1:1’s. The only failure is when something doesn’t work and we fail to not question why. Asking for clarification is absolutely encouraged here. The idea that employees would publically cry in front of management is something that I would hope would be brought forth to HR so we could look into it, as we should not be learning about this sort of assertion from a Glassdoor post nor am I aware of this being a practice. As for promotions, we’ve promoted somewhere around 20 people so far this year, and as positions become available and internal candidates have continued to develop their skills (which is really important to us!), we’ll continue promoting them. If an internal resource is not ready for a new role at a particular point in time, rest-assured we’ll continue to source external hires to compliment, diversify and bolster our existing team. Obviously this makes us stronger more holistically, which will benefit existing team members as well.
