Positive Reviews From Tucows Employees

  • What makes you most happy at work?
    The people, hands down. Some of the best people I've ever worked with in my life.
  • What are some of the best things about your team?
    Great people that know their jobs well. They don't blame others, they are very professional.
  • What do you like best about the leadership team?
    Executives leadership is great, except they allow their people to be underpaid for their titles.

Constructive Feedback From Tucows Employees

  • Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
    On page 65 of their 10-K filling they discuss executive compensation and this is stated in there "target compensation at the 50th percentile of market levels, as measured by Payscales" This is not the target for regular employees and that leaves a very bad taste in employees doing above average work
  • What would you improve about your company's interview process?
    Based on feedback from neighbours in the GTA around me , a lack of communication a lack of follow up a lack of answer as to whether they're hired or not going on months at times. So communication again needs to change. The people team and operations managers Have truly made our company look bad here
  • What needs to change to make the company culture better?
    Communcation, validation and recognition of not just managers who just report the people under them and their work. Leadership that is promoted due to more than friendships with VPs and executives or nepotisim. A return to the tucows they show you in your interview not what you get when you start
