What do you like best about the leadership team?
Getting diverser. Good Ceo leading
Open to new ideas and open door policy. Seek feedback and act on it.
They listen, strategic, growth focused, people and teams first
Cohesive interaction and inclusivity throught the org chart
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Everything from properly scoping tasks to recognizing employee ability and assigning resources effectively. The whole middle management layer is filled with poor managers.
Reward competence not your buddies and cronies!
Review from Operations Dept
The leadership team is too full of themselves. They think they have the solution to all the problems and hence micromanage. Learn to trust your managers - they are a good team. Do your job and set strategy and let your team deliver - else replace them.
Review from Operations Dept
Need to walk the talk on work life balance. Your culture is toxic and no one has the courage to tell the emperor he has no clothes for fear of getting fired. Empowerment is only talk. Stop micromanaging and trust your highly paid people.

What is the best part about your compensation package?
Time off, 401k matching, healthcare options
The entire package is great. Best package of my career to date.
Loan repayment and skill development
I like CIP and ESPP program
RSUs are very valuable and welcome.
Review from Operations Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
The pay is barely scraping average, you could get what I'm paid anywhere in Ottawa with ease. If the work environment wasn't so hostile the pay would be tolerable, but this job is clearly not worth what is being provided. Insurance is also mediocre and other benefits useless or obtuse to opt into.
What are some of the best things about your team?
They are professional and friendly and hard working
Fun, engaging, keen, want to do their best every day
Diversity and accomadating , generous , thoughtful , helpfuk
Hard working and intelligent. Want to do a good job but handcuffed by mediocre management.
Review from Operations Dept
Some really committed and hardworking people on the team
Review from Operations Dept
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
My immediate team is fine, but people not on my immediate team are often detached and have unrealistic goals and expectations. I don't really know how to improve any of this aside from simply having better management.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
It's getting more diverse and people Can be themselves
Friendly culture but with a respectful and business like foundation.
engaging : fun : continuously learning : fair :
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Remove the whole middle management layer and replace them. Scope tasks properly. Set realistic goals. Every project I've worked on has been a disaster scene that I get sent into to clean up and many of them are impossible situations that feel like I'm being scapegoated.
Always looking for someone to blame. The nepotism is suffocating.
Review from Operations Dept
CEO needs a serious mental adjustment - there are smart people in the company. Let them do their jobs, you are not good at everything.
Review from Operations Dept
What did you like most about the interview process?
It was partly competency based and partly relaxing / chatty
Long time ago so don’t rem

Do not remember any more. It was a few years ago.
Review from Operations Dept
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Make it clear who is the actual manager and who isn't. I thought, when I accepted my offer, that I would be working under one person who interviewed me. It turned out I was working under someone totally different.
What makes you most happy at work?
Flexibilty to work from home
Being able to set my pace and get on with my job in a supportive environment.
Seeing the results of what I do.
Review from Operations Dept
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Pay more. Manage better. Provide interesting work. At least do one of these so it's not torturous to get out of bed each day.
Toxic work culture and fear of constant layoffs. Better play it safe.
