Pros

Some very nice co-workers, at least.

Cons

If you're considering working here based on the job description, be warned: it's highly misleading. What’s presented as a dynamic, rapidly growing company in reality is a poorly run call centre environment without even the basic structures that would make such a job bearable. The onboarding process is particularly weak — there is no standardized training, and much of the responsibility falls to individuals more concerned with maintaining their internal status and visibility than ensuring new hires are properly supported. It sets the tone for a company culture that prioritizes image over substance. Several past reviews have mentioned a cult-like atmosphere and performative positivity, and those descriptions are accurate. From day one, the emphasis is on appearances, not outcomes — and the disconnection between how the company markets itself and how it actually operates is impossible to ignore. Despite talk of growth, there are no meaningful advancement opportunities. Performance metrics are unclear and seem to shift depending on the mood or preferences of your manager. There is no consistent path forward, only constant pivoting and vague encouragement. HR functions more as an administrative formality. Decisions were made without due diligence, and policies were applied unevenly, if at all.

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.
