Good company and learn a lot - Softwre developers RouteThis Employee Review

There are a lot of smart people here. A lot of talent, and a lot to learn from one another. The product has genuine potential if they can get things together. Office is downtown close to bars and restaurants. RouteThis Days before or after every long weekend are appreciated. Salary is above average for company of this size and stage. There are some okay coffee and snack options. While they recently announced a return to office, there is still some trust and flexibility for you to own your schedule.

While the salary is good, there is no incentive or bonus program or RRSP matching which is unusual for a company at this stage. There are stock options, but seem very minimal. Also unusual for a company at this stage. Sometimes it feels that if you're not a sales guy or an Executive, you are invisible. Return to office was expected, but the timing (right before Christmas) was poor. The office space while nice also doesn't support what they're hoping to achieve. Overall there just doesn't seem to be much investment in employee growth or development. Leadership is constantly turning over while very few are promoted from within. As someone else said very (white) male dominated. Diversity is lacking.

I’ve just completed my 3 year anniversary at RouteThis and feel as though it is a very supportive working environment. Every step of the way from when I was recruited to this day I very much appreciate the support I get from both leadership and the team. The vacation policy and RouteThis days throughout the year and year end mean a lot. The product is evolving and we are excited about what 2026 may bring. Hybrid working environment for me. I like to have the flexibility to come in. Our office is right downtown Kitchener and there is lots to do there all year round. From Christmas Markets to summer concerts.

I personally have always struggled with worklife balance. This place is no different especially with start ups, we always have many hats, so at times it can be a juggling act. I appreciate the flexibility we have to get our work done. Due to our stage of company no RRSP match is only downfall on benefits. Otherwise they are decent. Male dominated.
