Pros

Opportunity to travel, interact with clients and attend trade shows/conferences . Some good team members except morale is so low that the good ones usually leave

Cons

I think this company would have had a chance except that the team running the company are all too busy drinking their own kool-aid. A lot of nepotism going on here - a few of the VP's have hired their children who in turn report directly to them. ecobee was a disaster for this reason. The CEO is awful. He talks the talk but can't walk the walk.

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!
