Hootsuite Employee Reviews about "work life balance"

Pros

Work life balance, Amazing Culture

Cons

Low compensation, Less number of leaves

Pros

- Work with smart people on challenging projects - Kind, empathetic co-workers - Pretty good work/life balance - Good Software Development managers - Lots of opportunities for learning and career growth

Cons

- As the company has grown, it has gotten less agile and exciting, more of a corporate feel - Less autonomy for teams, more long term planning, more top-down projects, increasing focus on predictability above all else

Pros

- Great learning opportunities for those beginning their careers - Developers you get to work with are great people for the most part - Good work/life balance; a pretty social company - Lots of interesting problems that need fixing

Cons

- Management fails to listen to development concerns and continually forces new features despite pretty large issues in underlying systems and development practices - Lack of focus on building quality UI/UX despite their desire to "make UI/UX a differentiator" - CEO is purely in it for himself rather than putting the company first (he's a 45 year old party boy that abuses the office for his own pleasure; ex his party room at the office that only he gets to use) - Past sexism issues that were ignored by multiple levels of management until someone on a completely different team got involved (all but one of these managers are still there)

Pros

- Collaborative culture - Work-life balance - Young working force - Interesting problems to solve - Working on scaling problems - Startup mentality

Cons

- Some processes need more maturity - Using obscure or non-industrial languages (e.g., Scala, Go)
