Pros

There are some nice people that work there.

Cons

I left a really good company to pursue a role at Lever that I thought would expand my skill set and career potential. Everything looked great on paper in terms of them being a forward thinking HR tech company, expanding in Canada and branding themselves as an organization with strong values and care for employees. The day before I was supposed to start my training program, they informed me via conference call that due to "business conditions" and the need to pivot quickly as an organization, they would be rescinding my offer. Their actions left me jobless and what felt weird about the whole experience was how they practically justified their action as being par for the course as a startup business. As someone with a strong network in the Toronto tech start-up space, I can tell you this is not normal. In fact, it's extremely rare and every single person who I told this story too was shocked and disgusted.

Thank you for sharing your perspective and feedback with us. We recognize we left you in the lurch, and we are really sorry. We have never had a situation like this one before, and it wasn't a decision we made lightly. As we talked about on our call, the team you were hired to join merged with another, and the role you were to come into didn't exist at Lever anymore. This was a big change for us internally, and we know it impacted you as well and wanted to let you know as soon as we did that this was the case. We always try to do right by our people (those who have been with us for years and those who haven't started yet), even when in the midst of fast-paced startup uncertainty and change. This was a learning experience for us. We know several members on our team have offered to connect you to folks in their networks to help you in your job search. If we can be of any help, for referrals or tapping our network as well, please let us know. We're here to help however we can!

Pros

Remote work & health benefits (no 401k match)

Cons

Employ can be a chaotic and challenging environment due to frequent organizational changes, including multiple re-orgs and recurring layoffs that can create uncertainty and impact morale. Job seekers should expect a fast-paced environment where priorities and direction may shift regularly as leadership works to evolve the company strategy. The new CEO appears to bring a strong startup mindset and focus on turning the business around, though the long-term impact remains to be seen. There has also been notable executive turnover, which has contributed to changing priorities and evolving visions over time. Adaptability and resilience are valuable traits here — if “pivot” and “re-org” happen to be on your office bingo card, you may have a head start. Additionally, annual bonus payouts do not happen so don’t expect these, so job seekers may want to view variable compensation as more of a “pleasant surprise if it happens” than a guaranteed part of total rewards.
