Pros

Free food, location, great product, stock options and competitive referral bonus

Cons

Rushed training, "you should know this" attitude, condescending management, no formal escalation process, you are thrown into dealing with customers, no females in upper management, obvious favoritism, you are expected to take home work, management expects you to work overtime and guilts you if you don't

Thanks for your feedback, we take these concerns to heart here at ecobee. We’ve implemented a few changes to our Technical Support team since your time here. We provide four weeks of formal in-class training, and once on the phones, our CSRs have support and access to our QA/Trainers, other CSRs, and the Supervisory team. We may ask for people to step up when extra support is needed, but that’s a part of our company culture and core values (Driven, Integrity and Initiative). Our team is growing quickly, so we tend to have new Supervisors who are new to managing people. We continually support them and help them develop their people management skills. Although this takes a little bit of time and patience, it’s always worth it when you have great managers supporting an awesome group of people. We appreciate your feedback, and we will constantly strive to ensure our ecopeeps are learning and enjoying their time with us! - Andrew, Director, Customer Support

Best company I've ever worked for.

Pros

Strong leadership, great people, everyone is way smart, and mutually respected.

Cons

As a VC startup, the financial shortcomings have limited the infrastructure. HR was a late development and managers need a lot of training to be better supervisors, etc.

Best recruitment I've had

Pros

Recruitment: Email replies to question were mostly same day, and decisions took no more than 2. Recruiter was very clear with what they were looking for, and made the entire experience comfortable/convenient for my situation. Explained the work details and culture in an honest and clear way, which helped me decide that I would fit in much better at Ecobee vs other options. Workplace: Great location and a very fun and friendly group. Lots of opportunity to learn and grow your career. The product is SAVING THE PLANET, so you get to sleep well knowing you have good karma.

Cons

It isn't a tech giant, so it comes with the start-up type philosophy. If you don't feel like everyone at the company is on your team/family, and prefer to stay within the status quo, then ecobee probably isn't the right place. No foosball table
