Pros

Day to day, the people on the floor are solid. Honestly, coworkers are the only real bright spot , smart, hardworking, and supportive. But they’re not the ones making decisions, and that’s where everything falls apart.

Cons

Leadership here is about politics, not performance. You can sell more, hit your targets, go above and beyond , it doesn’t matter. There’s no commission, so there’s zero incentive to push harder. Promotions are handed out behind closed doors, based on who managers like, not who actually delivers. I’ve watched respected colleagues get ignored, while managers who aren’t trusted by their own teams keep moving up. The result is ugly: high turnover. In the last few months alone, several long-term employees who really carried this place have quit. They’re being replaced with fresh grads who are eager but not set up to succeed. It feels like leadership prefers “easier to manage” over “experienced and capable.” The knowledge drain is real, and it shows in how the office runs. Meanwhile, morale is at rock bottom. People are openly talking about leaving. Most of us are just here until something better comes along. And leadership’s answer? More “culture” talk. Social events, slogans, free snacks. None of that means anything when the fundamentals are broken: no fair pay, no proper incentives, no credible managers. The hardest part is the future. Right now the office is surviving on the backs of a shrinking group of good people who are tired and frustrated. If leadership doesn’t wake up and make serious changes , real sales incentives, transparent promotions, replacing toxic managers , then the Toronto office won’t just struggle, it’ll collapse.

Pros

Very central location, nice office spaces, ok lunches served at the office (but meat is never served), good flexibility in working hours, great for working parents

Cons

I've been in this company long enough to say that, if you are joining the Sales team, you should come with a high school mindset. Sales managers are entitled and thirsty for validation. It is a popularity contest where your performance is the least important thing if your manager doesn't like you. I've seen high performers, top salespeople, being pushed to the edge (or fired, or sent on sick leave) because they didn't smile enough - the excuse: they don't represent the company's values. They don't take feedback very well, but they nag you until you participate in employee surveys and team meetings. Of course, you should say what they want to hear and say you are very happy with everything. The moment you share constructive feedback, you'll earn yourself a target on your back, and your boss will take a personal vendetta against you. If you point out any problem, it will become your project to solve it, and you'll get scrutinised 10x harder than those who just play along. My advice: join the sales team if you are ready to launch a full-time campaign to be prom's queen, where the judge is your boss.

Pros

Mentimeter is genuinely one of the "healthier" tech companies I’ve worked for. The work environment is supportive, and the office space itself is fantastic. The biggest highlight is the international diversity of the staff; working with people from all over the world makes the day-to-day experience very rich.

Cons

Leadership Diversity: There has been a noticeable shift in leadership diversity, particularly in Marketing. They went from multi-nationalities to a leadership team that is now entirely Swedish, which feels like a step backward for a global product. • The "Vibe" Gap: There is a growing disconnect between management and staff. Leadership relies heavily on corporate jargon and values like "Drive it like you own it," but these don't resonate with employees at all. It feels like managers are living in a bubble. • Image over Clarity: Leadership seems more focused on internal and external PR than providing clear, actionable direction for their teams. • Stagnant Growth: Despite the "growth mindset" talk, actual career progression is very limited apart from sales
