Cons

Not a real downside IMO, but everyone is expected to take a lot of responsibility. Job roles are very fuzzy

Plus employee in Waterloo Office

Pros

-- High-quality catered breakfast and lunch every day, along with great snacks and coffee. -- Incredible offices in Waterloo with a gaming lounge, a fully-equipped music studio, a fitness studio, and more. -- Amazing co-workers who force you to up your game. -- A sense of doing big things in the world. -- High level of autonomy and trust.

Cons

-- Really easy to lose work-life balance and break. Not built for the insecure or those who want to clock in at 9 and clock out at 5. -- Big (and arguably needed) shift over the last year from internal promotions to external hires in leadership positions. For better or for worse, there's now a glass ceiling. -- Plus specifically is still figuring out how to transition from a start-up vibe to a more structured environment without losing the culture. Choppy waters occasionally. -- Some co-workers are incredibly entitled about the food, their career path, their role expectations, and so on. This isn't a millennial thing, it's a having-it-too-good-for-too-long thing.

Lots of nice folks, friendly atmosphere. Challenging work.

Cons

The feel is a bit corporate, the roles are focused on very narrow problems.
