Pros

Fully remote and some flexibility in terms of managing your own time

Cons

- Upper management is in US and does not understand Canadian employee expectations nor wants to or they would hire an HR professional with any experience. Huge red flag there is no HR or real operations leadership. - Young teams with little experience but a lot of ego leading to a lack of cross department collaboration - Product value and vision not clear for customer retention - Operations process in key teams are half baked and keep changing with little strategy and long term planning from upper management, very top down

Pros

The team is amazing, at the exec level and all the way to individual contributors. People are engaged with their teams and there's a "flatness" feel to the company that I haven't experienced before in other start-ups or enterprises. You experience true collaboration, and we don't see the all too common finger-pointing among departments. Open, honest communication is more than a core value, it's the way this place is run. That starts with daily, 9-minute, all-hands, video conference meetings to sync up on the business. That's critical for employees in remote locations who need to stay plugged in with everything that's going on. With the rapid growth of the business, many internal advancement opportunities have been created for employees, including across departments. This is an outgrowth of the company emphasis on investing in individual success as well as team success.

Cons

Can't say I love visiting Toronto HQ in February, but not much you can do about Canadian weather! Not a con for many of us, but know that the pace is fast, the goals are high, and the demands on employees to perform are significant. This is not a place to hang out and go along for the ride. Everyone is held accountable to make meaningful contributions.
