Pros

-Great product and brand -Rapidly growing company with lots of runway for growth -In demand product / brand -Cool office with fun location in Toronto -Relaxed environment and culture -Solid discounts on food -Pro [if you like] start up lifestyle, autonomy, ambiguous priorities, and doing a lot of different tasks -CEO hosts round table sessions every so often for internal feedback -Wellness days, 2 days off to volunteer, and decent company holiday schedule -Full week between christmas and new years the company shuts down

Cons

-High turnover on select teams -Priorities and direction tend to change on a dime, lots of whiplash -Small company but leadership team seems very out of touch with day to day tasks and comes off unapproachable -Hybrid workforce makes it challenging to build relationships with colleagues -Not great benefits, average pay, bonuses not paid out in full -Promotions / growth tend to favor individuals without families -Varies by team, but very poor direction and feedback from senior leaders

Pros

I tell my friends all the time that I'm so lucky to be a part of a company like this one. So far they've given me autonomy to hit the ground running and implement my ideas. The founders are extremely passionate about making a quality product through the most sustainable methods possible. Seeing that passion and drive definitely permeates throughout the company. I also noticed that my direct reports prioritize maintaining a fine balance between getting work done, keeping things positive and flexing our muscles to think of solutions from a different perspective. The higher ups are working on keeping communication open on the team and the company with monthly town halls, check-ins and cultivating an atmosphere where we feel comfortable in providing feedback whenever we need to. Doesn't hurt that we have dogs running around all the time and weekly Friday socials!

Cons

As we grow, we're still figuring out the most efficient processes to keep us organized. But I see improvements already - we cut down meeting times and are in the process of on-boarding the company to using a few software tools that'll help us work better as a team. We also have a LOT of great ideas - but we need to focus on a few, stay focused and execute.
