Pros

UK employees are a good support

Cons

The Toronto office has become unbearable under the new management. The MD openly makes comments that are wildly unprofessional, bragging about money, casually discussing firing people, and making inappropriate personal remarks, all while preaching “women empowerment.” The hypocrisy is unbelievable. Did I say this woman openly trash talks about her daughter in law, all the time. The management team camps out together at a big table near the boardrooms, loudly making outdated, tone-deaf comments and openly trying to guess who submitted negative pulse surveys. It’s paranoid, childish, and sets the tone for the entire office. People literally refer to them as “the clowns at the big table,” and that tells you everything you need to know. Good talent has already walked out the door, and the rest are just waiting for their next opportunity so they can leave. HR is completely ineffective, concerns go nowhere, and accountability doesn’t exist. This is not a healthy workplace. It’s toxic, demoralizing, and led by people who have no business being in leadership roles. Avoid if you value your sanity or career growth (the senior leadership group only brining in their former coworkers into the management roles).

Pros

was hired as remote and get to have that honored, but have been openly told no career progression because of remote status. decent pay

Cons

Leadership instability: Seven manager changes during my relatively short tenure. Unrealistic targets: A sales quota set at 1,100% growth (not a typo). Slow product development: Getting anything actioned on the product side takes far too long. Product management turnover: Three product manager changes, resulting in no meaningful deliverables in over three years. Misaligned hiring priorities: Greater emphasis on DEI optics than on hiring people positioned to drive growth. Internal vs. customer focus: More energy spent on internal events than on product enhancements. Lack of accountability (the biggest issue): No one takes ownership. Responsibility gets passed around constantly — for example, client cancellations going unprocessed because they impact someone's numbers. Managers have openly encouraged pushing the work onto someone else rather than handling it.
