Pros

Awesome humans. Great office location (right next to Peel station). Relaxed ambience at the office. Great option for hybrid work. No dress code. Bring your dog. Espresso machine. Free food.

Cons

Fixed mindset on the vision and values. Actions from managers often seem disconnected from the stated values of the company, yet accountability is a constant issue on that front. Don't try to talk to management about attempting to change how things are done: they won't want to hear you. Make sure you ask for permission before taking an initiative. "Ask for forgiveness, not permission" doesn't apply here. You will have a tough time tapping into the learning budget. You will get blamed for your mistakes and will have to figure it out yourself. Very tough environment.

Hi, thanks for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear that the role you were hired for was not aligned with your expectations and pace. We know we have awesome humans and we are collecting their feedback continuously. 95% of them would recommend nesto as a great place to work. As per the learning budget, every manager has one and can distribute it equally among their teams. That means one individual can't have more than their peers, for equity purposes. Thanks again for sharing your feedback

Pros

Scheduling changed and got better, salary was good.

Cons

FAVORITISM. They place people in new positions on who they like/wnjoy. You can continuously apply and not get it because they claim they want someone they “know” there really isn’t any growth opportunity unless they favorite you. This company is terrible. Placed a whole bunch of us and had us waiting for placements and laid us off.
