Pros

Great work life balance and culture, hybrid working model(you can go fully remote), and lots of amazing perks like monthly snack box, summer events, wellness benefits, etc. People here are super nice, and respect that you have a life outside of work, and will not message you after hours. Able to work on the newest technology(graphQL, react/react native), the culture allows engineers to have a lot of influences of the product. We’re able to allocate a good chunk of our sprint work to pure technical enhancements as well. Management is very supportive, helps you and want you to succeed. We are encouraged to take some time outside of each sprint for personal learning and improvement. There’s a very quick feedback loop to work in the product team here, meaning you can build products quickly and see results, iterate, experiment, and improve. Process is still somewhat lean compare to big tech. This is somewhere that has a great opportunity where you can grow together with the company as the product scales.

Cons

Its still a startup, meaning lots of changes come in your way, and you have to adapt.

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.
