Pros

Super inclusive environment: as a female-identified person who's worked most of her career in male-dominated spaces, it's awesome to be in a place where all my colleagues treat each other the same regardless of gender. It's a place where folks can bring their full selves to work, and although I work pretty independently in my role, I get to interact with people on a bunch of different teams, and they're passionate and smart and supportive. Jobber also has an awesome community presence, supporting initiatives/events like Startup Week, YESS, Edmonton Pride, and Movember. I get regular 1:1 time with my manager, the leadership team is super accessible and responsive to feedback, and I have a lot of autonomy over the work that I do. Other bonuses include: gender-neutral bathrooms on every floor, a fully stocked kitchen, and after-work beer on tap.

Cons

The extended benefits package isn't *super* amazing, but given it's a smaller company it's to be expected, and it covers what I need it to.

Pros

Not a single positive during my time at Jobber

Cons

- Leadership has ZERO strategy to compete against the other players in the market. - Way too many convoluted processes that slow everyone down - They will recruit you from another company and then let you go with absolutely no notice or reason

Pros

It's really a great business with a great product and product reputation. Work life balance is good. Honestly, I don't even mind the RTO mandates as long as it stays hybrid - the Toronto office is great. Some of the home-made tools being developed to speed up development with AI are actually pretty neat.

Cons

The culture in Engineering is turning really sour. I get the impression they're slowly trying to eliminate the People Manager role, which is "fine" until you realize that they have no interest in helping you grow and advance your career here. It's really sad to see, especially for those of us earlier in our careers who do want to move up and stick around long enough to see ourselves AND the business grow. They're trying to eliminate 1-1s under the guise of productivity and shipping out faster and getting managers more involved in dev work. And it does not look like the managers have much of a say. For the most part, you're seen as a replaceable code/feature monkey. Turnover is increasing, especially with those tenured, senior folks, and I don't think they care. Another issue I've ran into is the varying skill level of engineers. There are great engineers here. But, there are some engineers here who just entirely vibe code. And that behaviour is highly encouraged and seen as "impactful" in some teams. Well don't come crying when incidents have increased over the last 6 months then? To be fair, it is entirely team-dependent and some teams have a higher calibre, some lower.
