Pros

Office is located at Yonge and Eglinton

Cons

Senior leaders pit employees against each other to manufacture a false sense of competition and distrust. The company currently has no certified HR, so gossip and HR violations go unreported. You are not allowed to question leadership's decisions or you will be villainized in front of other employees. There is no salary transparency, so people (mostly women) repeatedly discovered that junior peers were paid more than them. New hires are not formally trained due to lack of staff bandwidth, so you either sink or swim. If you're looking for a job in tech, you know what benefits are typically offered. Mortgage Automator offers nothing beyond standard health insurance and asking for anything else will get you laughed out of leadership's office. Favoritism, bragging about personal wealth, bullying juniors in the lunch room, and gaslighting are common behaviors (you will often be told that you are "confusing" if they don't like what you're telling them). After getting acquired by a VC group in the US, leadership took the team on an insultingly bad retreat to Camp Muskoka to sleep in bunk beds. The C-suite has convinced themselves that they have an inner circle of trustworthy employees, so constructive feedback is disregarded. This is not a team. It's a "boy's club" ruling people by fear.

Pros

During my time working in onboarding at Mortgage Automator, I was truly impressed by the inclusive and uplifting culture at MA. The company not only values every individual’s contribution but actively fosters an environment where teamwork and personal growth are front and center. One of the standout aspects is how polished and yet approachable the c-suite and upper management. They regularly engage with the team, share their experiences that got them to where they are, and ensure that every employee feels heard and empowered to take the next step in their career. They are committed to take the time to mentor, and help everyone advance towards their goals and overall career, even outside of Automator. This commitment to professional development has opened up ample opportunities for advancement, making it a great place to build a long-term career. The work is not a cake-walk though, while enjoyable in everyday ways, a certain level of effort and work ethic is required - but that is what makes us all better, and I appreciated it as it has helped me progress. The kitchen is a hub of energy, stocked with an assortment of freebies, snacks, and drinks that keep everyone fueled throughout the day. And the annual camping getaway up north? It’s a unique tradition that allows colleagues to unwind and connect on a more personal level, forging bonds that extend well beyond the office walls. Overall, my experience with Mortgage Automator is that it is a company where professional ambition meets genuine care for its employees, a place where you can grow, connect, and enjoy every step of your journey.

Cons

Getting to the office can be trying at times because of traffic.
