Cool, Collaborative OfficeWork in a relaxed, open atmosphere where you can easily collaborate with colleagues, or find some space for solo contemplation.

“People didn’t know that the Earth was round when some of these trees were almost as tall as they are now… it’s a life form to marvel, which is a humbling kind of experience.”
Adi Mantri, Engineering
“I remember being in the room when the fax came through with the counter-signed contract. The tears, the hugs, the screams—I’ve never seen that much happiness to date, in my life… so that is what I’m always striving for.”

I have been working at AppDirect full-time (More than a year)
Pros
Great work-life balance, very flexible schedule, you can get breakfast, lunch, snacks and coffee for free every day in the fully stocked kitchen. Super fun events and the holiday party is amazing. Overall, we are very spoiled.
Career growth is very possible, though nothing formal is in place yet (heard it's coming in 2019).
The culture in Montreal is wonderful. Majority male because of the heavy engineering presence, but never ever toxic, and managers and recruiting are doing all they can to make a more diverse team.
Managers genuinely care about their people and want to always improve. The people here are some of the best and brightest I've worked with.
Cons
There have been a lot of changes in the past couple years. All of them made sense and we understand their rationale, but it has been tiring.
You need to be open to change, curious to learn and be comfortable with challenges to succeed at AppDirect.
Advice to Management
Keep investing in your people and keep a clear communication strategy whenever there are changes - but please keep them to a minimum if you can. We want to work and grow in a somewhat consistent environment.
Application
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at AppDirect (San Francisco, CA) in January 2018.
Interview
I was not looking for a job and the recruiter contacted me with an engaging message. He did a good job selling the opportunity and set up me to talk to the exec. After a thorough phone interview, I came onsite to meeting with leaders in the company. The recruiter was on top of it during the whole process, continually checking in and letter me know where things stand. Onsite interview was an amazing experience.
