Pros
- Friendly colleagues and managers - Interesting product and challenges - Lot of opportunities to learn
Cons
- No longer founder run (it is run by investors who are a private equity company) - both founders have left the company and the company has gotten worse since they left - 25% of the company was laid off abruptly - Pay is below market for engineering/product people - Stock option plan is grossly misleading. Does not follow the standard 4 year vesting schedule with a 1 year cliff. Do not join purely based on options they give you. - Goals are set based on what the investors care about with very little attention paid to what users want - Management is pushing RTO since they bought a fancy new office and are now trying to justify the expense. This is a joke. Most of the management don't live in Montreal and when they come to Montreal they stay in fancy hotels right near the office and expect the rest of us to commute 2 hours a day
