Amazing people - Anonymous employee 7Geese Employee Review

The atmosphere and culture. From my first day through the door, all I've seen is smiles and genuine interest in getting to know one another. The best part is it's never in a forced way. The true drive to be a company that speaks its own language and gives its employees the freedom to do their best work. The flexibility of the schedule is absolutely huge! This is something that can be huge for someone who has to commute or has a family and/or pets. Company events are very quickly sponsored by the company to help promote relationship building ESOP's are a real nice perk too The typical food, ping pong, lunch & learns and beer ring true but a low key benefit of 7Geese is the office. Being in Gastown and facing the mountain is beautiful, every day. Having a 7/10 gym available for free as well as a rooftop adds to the benefit.

Being a smaller company, there can be many hats worn however this is never anything that is forced, but rather available to the people that want to with a work from home, the policy comes the need to rely on communication tools like slack which can leave some messengers at the mercy of the person they're trying to get ahold of rather than always being able to find them near their desk. This is something I believe the entire tech world is going through and we are all starting to adapt.

- Extremely supportive environment across all people and teams. Supportive in day-to-day work, everyone is ready to lend a hand (with a smile) and with personal things too like taking leave, special requests, support (including $) for career growth and development - It's a small size (less than 40 people on average) so you get to know everyone and there's always a familiar face, no matter what you are doing! The vibe of the physical office is a loft family room feel, which makes you feel relaxed. - Endless opportunities to stretch your skillset in big and small ways, you will never get a 'no' when trying to take initiative or grow into areas beyond your core role.

- Small offices can sometimes breed drama, so you have to make a conscious choice to not get sucked into that - Definitely, a rollercoaster when it comes to some of the $ targets and other KPIs. It's hard to know if the company is actually doing poorly or doing well, even when you have the numbers in front of you. - Some all-hands meetings lack the enthusiasm to really motivate you to do better and strive for excellence.
