Pros

- I hadn't heard of this app before applying, but they have a lot of users and activity in a space that's exciting but also relatable - Genuine focus on people and like the focus on values - Nice office downtown (although good be closer to TTC) - Snacks and food options - Some really talented people across several teams - Solid benefits plan

Cons

- We move too slowly and seems like a of lot time between releases (although seems to be getting better ...) - Salaries don't seem to be as competitive as they should, esp for Toronto - The parent company seems too far away from our priorities and that creates a lot of the long cycles - We hire in bursts but can go a long time without back-filling important roles

Pros

I spend the first 10 years of my career in stuffy corporate environments, working at Checkout 51 for the last 1.5+ years has been a breath of fresh air. The Office is very trendy with a fantastic open concept and plenty of spaces to work quietly or have quick breakout meetings depending on your day. It is really nice to work for a company that values your efforts and has the utmost respect for my work/life balance. Management does everything they can to maintain a healthy work/life balance for their staff and encourage us to continue to develop our skills by providing tuition assistance. The staff are all very talented and driven to make the company the best it can be. They make coming to the office every day both fun and inspiring.

Cons

If you are someone that likes having their day to day set, it might be challenging for you. It's very fast paced environments and employees need to be flexible. This is not necessarily a con.
