Sorry it wasn't a good experience for you. I hope you took the opportunity to come to your manager or to me and my team with these issues, while you were still with the company. We take concerns over ethics very seriously, including when those concerns involve a manager. Our managers are very involved with their teams, including via seating arrangements as you point out. To us that's about transparency and engagement, and reinforcing the idea that managers are fundamentally accountable to their teams. Our sales staff are valued contributors, and we provide training and support in numerous ways to ensure their success. Sorry to hear that you weren't able to make this a successful role for yourself, but thanks for the time you gave us and for the candid feedback.

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.
