Pros

- Work-life balance is exceptional - Company culture is a great balance of being collegial and team-oriented, but without the groupthink and bureaucracy that slows down many other companies with "nice" cultures. - Very deliberate attention has been paid to the employee experience, starting from the CEO. This goes beyond the standard perks and freebies. Throughout the pandemic, the company has consistently shown a commitment to taking care of their employees and putting their money where their mouth is.

Cons

- Competitive pressure means that the company's long-term prosperity is far from guaranteed. - Advancement opportunities are more similar to a large, established company than you might expect for a young post-IPO company. This isn't a career rocket ship where high-performers can expect promotions every year or two.

Pros

Amazing support to ALL employees. You feel part of the team on day one. You're looked after, set up for success, and encouraged to create goals and exceed them. No unrealistic expectations as well; they understand everyone's human. Time off to take care of yourself is just as important as working hard. Because of that, everyone is in the right headspace to do their best work - and WANT to do it!

Cons

Onboarded remotely (due to COVID) which has made it a bit tough to get to know the team. Because HQ is in the US, the focus is there, even though there are offices globally and protocols that suit the US may not be necessary for other countries (COVID restrictions). In addition to that, our CE team has to work on Canadian holidays because we're a US company. Although they give a day in lieu or holiday pay to follow employment requirements, it's one downfall of the team!
