      Pros

      - Most coworkers and ICs are friendly and willing to help. - Most coworkers are motivated; yet in the past several months, many of them have already left the company for better employment elsewhere

      Cons

      Ecobee is a management-heavy company that's penny-wise but pound foolish. There are quite a few managers who "manage" only 2-3 reports. On average, ICs are seen as disposable; I cannot recommend joining ecobee as a software developer. - Plenty of hypocrisy and false promises from management. I used to keep a list of hypocritical actions but stopped because there were too many examples. Similar to past reviews, ecobee has its fair share of unqualified managers who drive away good talent - Petty fiefdoms, especially among PM/TPMs, that trickle its way to software developers. If your team is caught in the crossfire, brace for excessive office politics - Before the past two restructurings, there used to be a collaborative atmosphere. Nowadays, the atmosphere is more tense; in fact, some teams have an everyone-for-themselves atmosphere. We talk the talk but don't walk the walk - Compensation could include annual bonus and RRSP

      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!
