Pros

Great Lunches Upbeat atmosphere Good Office Location

Cons

Extreme micromangement Unrealistic targets Favouritism You're told that this is a consultative sales job, but in reality you're just a telemarketer that is treated like trash by both the dealers you call and the people you work for. DO NOT apply here if you want a sales position that's truly consultative and driven by the quality of work you produce rather than the number of calls you make.

Thank you so much for your feedback. I’m sorry to hear that you felt micromanaged and that you weren’t listened to as that is not the culture and management style that we strive to achieve. We do not tolerate favouritism in any form. It’s also hard to hear your role did not live up to your expectations.

Pros

Having completed my first three months as a Senior Engineering Manager, my experience has been very positive so far. Excellent Culture: The organization fosters a collaborative, inclusive, and supportive culture where people are encouraged to share ideas, challenge assumptions, and work together toward common goals. Leadership is approachable, and there is a strong focus on transparency and continuous improvement. Great Team: I have had the opportunity to work with a highly talented, knowledgeable, and supportive team. Everyone is willing to help, share expertise, and contribute to collective success, making onboarding and collaboration seamless. Technology-Forward and Innovation-Driven, The company embraces modern technologies and remains technology-agnostic, selecting the best tools and platforms for the problem at hand rather than being tied to specific vendors. The organization is proactive in exploring emerging technologies, including cloud, platform engineering, and AI, which creates an exciting environment for learning and innovation. Overall, my first three months have reinforced that this is a great place to grow professionally while working on meaningful and technically challenging initiatives.

Cons

The hybrid work model requires employees to be in the office three days per week, which may not suit everyone. However, I personally appreciate the opportunity to collaborate face-to-face, build relationships, and connect with colleagues. Combined with the office perks and supportive environment, I do not currently have any major cons to report.
