Pros

Since I have joined Connected Lab, i have been empowered to build a high performing team. - Empowered to search and find the best candidates, not the best candidate within a time period. - Ability to self-organize and realign in a manner in which I felt we could achieve the best results. This is often promised, but rarely supported. - Support to remove roadblocks (H/W, S/W, team assignments, etc.) allowing team to maximize performance and be successful. - Maintain an Empowered to work closely with the team on growth activities - A fun place to work, that still feels like a small company - Many programs to allow for social connections to be made regardless of title or team assignment. - Executives you believe, trust and want to follow

Cons

It is more than 10 minutes from my home.

So far, so glorious

Pros

Keep in mind I'm probably still in my honeymoon period. That said, I'm thrilled with it so far. I have been given trust and opportunity from day one. There is a corps d'esprit here that goes past the veneer of other places. There are no "brilliant jerks." Kindness really IS important. You can be both honest and tactful here. We punch above our weight and we do projects with huge companies doing some really cool things. The "with" is key. We are not code monkeys and CL is involved from inception to design to implementation.

Cons

Since the core hours were reduced from 9-6 to 9-5, that addressed my single biggest concern. My only other one may be sick days. This is an allocations based company so I get that you can have a bunch of sick time but 5 days paid sick time is a bit lean. More people are having kids so this may not scale well.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your glorious review. It’s awesome to hear that your Connected Lab journey is off to a great start. You highlighted kindness, our core value, and the quality of work we do, which makes me happy! I also want to thank you for your candid feedback. Currently we provide 5 paid and 5 unpaid sick days for a total of 10 sick days. This is actually above the minimum required by law (which is 10 unpaid sick days). That being said, I appreciate you raising this as a concern and will consider it as we grow. Thanks again for your kind words!

Thanks so much for your 5 stars! It makes me especially happy that you highlighted that we're an awesome place to work, and that you love the people and the projects. It shows we're on the right track. I know that the hours can be a bit much sometimes but we are working hard to strike a balance. If you have any advice or feedback please feel free to reach out to me personally, or to our HR team. We're working really hard to ensure that Connected remains one of the best places to work in Canada!
