      Pros

      - market rate pay for design / dev - well-stocked fridges / coffee - diverse tech stack - interns seemed to enjoy working here, and the intern to full-time pipeline is strong. - large personal education budget (I recommend using it to go to a conference somewhere fun, and if the conference sucks just go have fun on their plane ticket dime) - development teams are decently structured, and teams are pretty free to do their own thing re: tech selection, implementation. This also means that the work environment on one team may be totally different from another, so that's good and bad. - the office location has pros and cons, but one major pro is you can take nice walks by the lake - like any larger company you'll probably find people that you vibe with, I made lots of friends here.

      Cons

      - Delusional CEO. Not sure if he thought he was talking a big game to hype up the workers, or if he believes what he says. Either way it's pretty irritating to listen to him talk himself up 24/7 and act like the company is revolutionary when in reality it's just a toy company for bored home-owning boomers. - CEO talks a big game about caring about the environment, but when workers raised ideas about how we could be proactive it's pretty clear that it's all talk . - Unrealistic product timelines, then when it becomes apparent the product timeline is horrible the CEO just doubles down. - support workers are treated very poorly. It's hard to respect a company when they treat people this way. The support workers need a lot of knowledge and patience to do their job and should be better compensated and given more accommodations and praise. The company couldn't function without them. - New office is in a poor location. Not much to eat and the busses around there are brutal during commute times.

      Pros

      Co-headquartered in Toronto and Leeds - very cosmopolitan with a high emphasis on DEI.

      Cons

      Tech company means people love ALLLLL the software. Information and resources are scattered across numerous platforms, which can be pretty frustrating.

      Pros

      ecobee is a great place to work because of the fantastic culture that exists here. Thanks to transparency from our CEO down, there are multiple teams helping support me in my role and hit my goals. Because there are so many intelligent, driven and willing people, we are able to work together to exceed goals and focus on what is important to our shared success. Many suggestions and support can be given because of it is known by everyone what you are working on and striving for. It also allows for frank conversations about what we can't work on because it would create misalignment with our goals. I am excited to be a part of a company that is constantly innovating, helping the planet, and looking to win in the market. Great time to be an ecopeep!

      Cons

      Too many great ideas and not enough resources to bring them all to life!
