Pros

Visionary CEO. Countless opportunities to learn and move around the organization. The perks are undeniable.

Cons

...BUT it blows my mind just how little diversity there is here and frankly there really are no excuses especially here in Toronto (or anywhere in Canada for that matter). It looks like Senior Management is finally beginning to clue in and I'm noticing a push from them to build a more inclusion-centric culture. But how this can be done without the necessary internal diversity, I have no clue. I hope I'm not being naive but I'm (grudgingly) optimistic that things will improve in the long term. I've noticed their attempts to grow a team around Inclusion. Fingers crossed we see more people of colour join that team so they can truly create a work environment that is more in line with what the Canadian tech industry can and should look like.

Pros

Remote first culture. If you want freedom of location and a company to truly mean and support it - this is the place.

Cons

Constant change. Nothing to hold on to in this role, compensation, KPI's, tools all change every quarter.

Pros

High comp and AI forward. One of the few remote places left.

Cons

Upper management basically openly disdains the “working class”, and it’s a major jostle among the VP and Director level for currying favor with the CEO. The investment in AI tooling is smart but also the C suite majorly suffers from AI psychosis, it’s embarrassing, actually.
