Pros

At one time, this was an excellent company to work for. Leadership understood the product, valued its employees, and fostered a positive work environment. Morale was high, and people genuinely enjoyed coming to work each day.

Cons

Layoffs appear to have become the new norm. Unfortunately, many highly capable sales representatives—who played a significant role in building the company’s success—have either been laid off or chosen to resign due to increasingly unrealistic expectations and performance demands. There is a growing perception that upper management places insufficient value on the employees who work diligently each day to support and grow the business. Given the frequency of recent layoffs, it also appears that experienced employees are sometimes being replaced with new hires at lower compensation levels.

Pros

Leadership is accessible and open to feedback, even during fast‑moving initiatives. Smart, supportive colleagues who genuinely care about the work and the customers. Strong commitment to cross‑team collaboration, especially between Marketing, Content, Product, and Insights

Cons

Prioritization can shift quickly, which sometimes creates rework or unclear direction. Resource constraints can slow down execution on larger initiatives. Some decisions feel reactive rather than planned, which affects long‑term execution.

Pros

- Strong Compensation Perks: Excellent benefits package, including solid RRSP matching and a competitive PTO policy. - Talented Colleagues: You will work alongside highly intelligent, capable engineers and a very supportive middle management team. - Base Culture: When left to operate remotely, the day-to-day team culture is genuinely great.

Cons

- "False Remote" Expectations: Despite advertising a remote culture, there is heavy, unspoken pressure to be in the office. This is especially frustrating and illogical when your direct reports and teams are based in other countries, meaning you commute just to sit on video calls. - Imbalanced Executive Leadership: Product and Engineering both roll up to a single leader whose background is primarily in sales. This creates a systemic imbalance where product feature delivery is consistently prioritized over engineering health, technical debt reduction, and architectural stability. - Engineering Bottlenecks: Because of the leadership focus, the tech stack suffers. The codebase is deeply coupled and shared across multiple teams, creating a monolithic structure. Because releases are complicated and heavily reliant on manual QA work rather than automated testing, the organization is bottlenecked to only two scheduled releases per week.
