Pros

The environment at Jobber is extremely inclusive and supportive. Everyone truly lives out the values in their day to day work. It is a workplace that makes everyone feel welcome and heard. It is a place where you not only get coworkers, but friends as well. Some of the other pros are that the work is always changing. New features, ideas and challenges are always being introduced. Solutions are left up to the team and Jobber does a good job making sure that everyones voice is heard. Work moves quite fast, so I don't find you are stuck working on the same boring task for a long time like other places. There is also quite a good focus (at least on my team) on career growth. There are regular 1:1 meetings with managers to make sure that all employees are happy and working towards some sort of goal in their career. This has helped me to grow, and also work on things that keep me very interested in my work. The office culture and perks are also great. Ping pong, foosball, stocked kitchen, free drinks, lunch brought in weekly. Jobber has all the perks of a well run tech startup.

Cons

Walking up and down 3 floors after exercising kind of sucks. Good thing there is an elevator

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.
