Pros
Solid benefits package and opportunities to learn at a fast-paced startup. The ship is tight, so you have opportunities to see and do a lot, if you take the initiative.
Cons
In my ~2.5 years at ResQ, I saw 7 executives and several directors leave the company - voluntarily and involuntarily. In addition, the company went through two major layoffs since raising their series A in 2021. Having worked at other startups, I expected turnover and constant shifts in priorities, but all the major changes in leadership and layoffs destroyed morale and left people confused about company direction. ResQ has a hybrid work environment with an office in Toronto, yet some of the team, including members of leadership, were based out of the US, so a lot of virtual collaboration was required even during office days. The hybrid policy was not strictly enforced, and so an office that could fit ~100 employees often only had just a fraction of that come in on a "mandatory" day. In-office days did not achieve the enhanced collaboration it was intended for because of this.
