Pros

Strong engineering and product culture with talented colleagues. Flexible remote work policies. Good autonomy and opportunities to tinker with state-of-the-art AI tooling. Technical challenges are interesting if you're early in your career.

Cons

Company is in cost-cutting, share price optimization mode. Slashed comp structures, wild org changes, role restructuring—all designed to limit upside and cut expenses. Revenue org got gutted: replaced individual quotas with team quotas, destroying earning potential for top performers—my potential comp is dropping by at least $50k CAD despite positive "Mastery" rating and strong performance. Benefits getting trimmed, salaries squeezed, constant reorganizations that conveniently cap compensation growth. New customer pipeline is bone dry—mature market, limited growth opportunities. Career progression unclear unless you pivot to management. No path to meaningful comp growth, external hires get way more than internal folks.

Pros

Remote first culture. If you want freedom of location and a company to truly mean and support it - this is the place.

Cons

Constant change. Nothing to hold on to in this role, compensation, KPI's, tools all change every quarter.
