Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We are constantly looking for ways to improve and I value your constructive feedback if only the above is true. Working at Knit you would know that we have a flat structure in place where opinions are respected, and colleagues are encouraged to speak up about their challenges. Monthly 1 on 1s with management is a common thing and any challenges discussed are addressed almost immediately. With that said Toronto is where Knit was started and since the beginning of this year, we have gone on a hiring spree bringing on some really amazing people across Canada. While we might not have the employee experience perfected, we are committed to ensuring that the amazing culture of this company remains intact as we scale further. To conclude, there are no software developers in the company with a tenure between 1-2 years. The average tenure for the members of our product development team is 3.5+ years and we are only able to achieve this because we have a flat structure in place and opinions are respected and challenges are addressed immediately.

Pros

I love my job, here's why: - Every day I have the opportunity and freedom to experiment, contribute to strategic decisions, and actually see direct impact of my efforts on the company's well-being. - Amazing people work here. Everyone on the team brings unique talents and dedication to everyone's success. - Time and time again, I've seen everyone on the team demonstrate that they are genuinely invested in the success of our customers. - The CEO is vision driven, and goes out of his way to take care of the team. On top of all this, you're exposed to real opportunities to network in the Toronto tech scene, build your professional skills, and take advantage of the latest software tools.

Cons

Every now again you will need to redirect your focus and energy on very short notice and wear many hats. This can be a pro or a con depending on your strengths. If you're goal driven and interested in building out processes (often from scratch), and are good at taking ownership, this is a great opportunity. If you find more success in following established, pre-determined structures/frameworks, you might run into significant challenges.

Thank you for your feedback and I appreciate the vote of confidence. I am confident that as Knit matures many of the processes we're working on right now will be built out. Thankfully we have an amazing team that is working on it right now!
