Pros

the flexibility was great. Company announced an office mandate for 2024. Terrible announcement, seemingly not based on data at all. People can be good here but not because of what the company has trained.

Cons

Average pay, below average benefits (no RRSP or match), above-average “expectations”. Senior leader team not aligned and not high performing. As a result are punishing everyone in Vancouver area by forcing back to office to resuscitate the company. COO still trying to push bureaucratic “operating system” but most managers still unaware of what is required of them.

Our ultimate goal as an organization is to win in the marketplace. Every benefit that we offer to Particles, including workplace flexibility, has to be balanced against our ability to achieve that goal. We understand that flexibility is important to Particles, and we have retained some level of flexibility in the new policy, but ultimately the success of our organization has to come first. OS2, or the Way Article Operates is ultimately operationalizing the Article Way (our guiding principles) through building specialized businesses within a business, to ensure accountability and authority match while delivering value to customers whether they are internal or external. Introducing any organizational change comes with challenges, and we are learning and progressing together. We recognize how we work is not for everyone, however, combining more in-person interactions and thoughtful systems in place is key to drive high performance.

We’re glad to hear benefits and pay have been a positive part of your time at Article. Your feedback on leadership is clear. While providing internal opportunities is a focus for us in developing our teams, we recognize that stepping into leadership requires the right training and support. Our L&D team is actively building a dedicated learning pathway for Particles moving into new leadership roles so they’re set up to lead effectively.
