Hello, thanks for sharing your feedback. Employee turn-over can be misconstrued as an always negative thing. The talented people we employ at ecobee naturally develops an environment of ambitious people that want to progress faster than unfortunately what the company may be able offer at the time. We endeavor to provide a place where people can grow professionally, learn or develop new transferrable skills that they can take forward with them. We never like to lose great people but it is also rewarding that ecobee could be part of their professional development to achieve future success. Andrew, Director of Support at ecobee

Pros

Co-headquartered in Toronto and Leeds - very cosmopolitan with a high emphasis on DEI.

Cons

Tech company means people love ALLLLL the software. Information and resources are scattered across numerous platforms, which can be pretty frustrating.

Pros

ecobee is a great place to work because of the fantastic culture that exists here. Thanks to transparency from our CEO down, there are multiple teams helping support me in my role and hit my goals. Because there are so many intelligent, driven and willing people, we are able to work together to exceed goals and focus on what is important to our shared success. Many suggestions and support can be given because of it is known by everyone what you are working on and striving for. It also allows for frank conversations about what we can't work on because it would create misalignment with our goals. I am excited to be a part of a company that is constantly innovating, helping the planet, and looking to win in the market. Great time to be an ecopeep!

Cons

Too many great ideas and not enough resources to bring them all to life!
