Pros

The individuals I worked with were all amazing teammates, and the comp model is competitive in Canada.

Cons

Leadership is disorganized and chaotic. They just scream “thrive on change”, and then constantly change directions without ever letting new features breathe. There used to be room to voice concerns, but they shut it all down now so all you hear is the exec team who are completely out of touch. The logistics team was so poorly run I can’t put words to it.
