Pros

-There are some wonderful people that work here. You will find pockets of extremely bright, caring, genuine individuals. -There are office snacks - they get boxes delivered each week with random assortments of stuff. -Intended values & mission are wonderful. -There are unique perks, like the Stanley Cup coming into the office.

Cons

-Change is inevitable, but it felt like many "strategic" decisions made by the most senior leadership were rolled back weeks or months later. These were often marketed to the team as "THE" game changer for the team and that this is the new way forward, with no way back. This constantly happened and ultimately eroded the faith and confidence of many team members. This also appears in other reviews, which note how inexperienced the leadership team makes themselves look. -Nepotism is widespread. Longtime employees get unwritten perks that are then not extended to newer employees. Your last name can get you undeserved praise and recognition. -Management will mislead about promotions, pay, and job trajectory. They will promote employees (oftentimes superficially), but keep shackled them to previous salary. They will tell you a career path exists, but when you earn that chance, they will come up with an excuse. And after they don't pay you more, they take lavish dinner parties. -Sales is a total mess. If you apply for a position in Sales, ask about the history of the team.

Pros

Consistent and reliable payroll; never had an issue with receiving pay on time. Strong sense of camaraderie among the frontline staff. The peer-level culture is supportive, and I’ve worked with some truly talented, kind individuals.

Cons

Contradictory Corporate Narrative: There is a frustrating disconnect between the "Best Place to Work" internal messaging and the reality of constant benefit reductions. While leadership publicly praises the culture, they are simultaneously cutting the very things that make a workplace sustainable. Declining Total Rewards: Benefits have been consistently scaled back and are now both expensive and limited in coverage. Combined with pay reductions and the elimination of bonuses, the "total compensation" package is no longer competitive. Product Stagnation & Misleading Sales: Internal development has stalled, yet Sales and Leadership continue to market the product as "thriving." It appears the focus has shifted entirely to "polishing" the company for a potential sale rather than investing in the product’s long-term health. Management by Negative Reinforcement: All-hands meetings are frequently used to suggest that staff efforts are "never enough," despite the fact that remaining employees are now covering the roles of those lost in multiple rounds of layoffs.
