I love these people
|
|
- The people are a pleasure to be with and work with.
- Leadership has your back.
- Lots of opportunities for growth, within your field as well as into new fields.
- All the good parts of a startup (like caring about your work and crushing it) but with good benefits, salary, and work-life balance.
- A good culture that people actively try to improve.
|
I really can't think of any meaningful cons that matter to me.

Great team, great product
|
|
Experienced leaders who really care about the people and product. Great benefits (unlimited PTO, catered lunches, snacks, etc.). Growing company with tons of potential.
|
Can be a little dark and quiet in the office... but rapid growth and an impending office expansion/renovation should fix that!

A dream come true at this wonderful startup
|
|
- The Smooch team is working fervently to create value in the business messaging space.
- A decentralized organization, so you are empowered to make decisions on your own.
- The tech is super exciting.
- A beautiful office space that is open and well lit with natural light.
- Free snacks, fresh fruit, and (of course) espresso.
|
While I don't have any cons so far, I will say that there have been moments where I felt somewhat lost. However, the cure for this is confidence and learning day by day.

Great Startup!!
|
|
The leadership team is smart, transparent and inspiring.
Great work-life balance (flex hours, work from home).
Tons of growth opportunity and room to take initiative.
Happy hours every Friday (that most ppl actually go to!), cool team building events.
Overall solid culture.
|
Really a fit for people who are self-motivated and autonomous to an extent, seeing as it's a startup you are not managed super closely.

A startup that I would never recommend to a friend!
|
|
Honestly, I worked there for 2 years, and I'm actually having a hard time to pin point any pros about this company. May be the bright purple decor?
|
Working here has taught me a lot about my potentials - and most importantly, it taught me the feeling of drinking poison willingly.
*The entire startup culture vibe that they try to show to the outside world, couldn't be less true and SO FAKE that its nauseous.
*Everything about this place revolves around developers, from pay to treatment -everything.
*It's a super depressing place to work at, if being unhappy is on your list, then this is definitely your place (although I'll ask, why would you?)
*Deadly quiet - You can actually hear the clock ticking - its SO SO quiet. They actually bring in neighbors and relatives on special days to make it look crowded.
*They constantly talk about breaking silos, tries to make company events and instill startup vibes, but the entire structure to the core operates like that of a corporate and hence fails to achieve any of startup culture at all.
*Personally, I felt like, my job description did not at all reflect with what I was actually entitled to do, and it seemed like quite a normal thing here where you are expected to accept something like this and act like this is how its supposed to be.
*I was scared of my supervisor, and scared isn't a feeling I was accustomed of before working here and I'm glad I left, because nothing's worth that feeling of being miserable every single day, where everything is so fake.

*Start thinking about your employees out of the "developers team" bubble and try to make all your employees part of your company
*Stop wasting so much time and effort being fake, try to be more genuine and do things that will make employees think you actually care and not leave you. *Just take a step back and look at your employee turnover rate and how many employees left you and why? There is definitely somethings you have been awful at, that made your employees leave?
*Your employees are your asset, each one of them, everyone matters - if you don't treat them equally, then you are simply standing in a battle field with a group of soldiers with zero loyalty for you. You don't want a company built where your own employees could care less of where you go in the future!
*Management needs 'mentor' training - explanation of difference between autocratic leader and influential leader. Both can get things done, but the results are very different!

Amazing startup in Montreal
|
|
Great place to work if you're looking to join a growing team. They're hiring non-stop, expanding the office, and are in a booming industry.
|
Growth is fast, so the company is looking for self-starters who are comfortable with evolving roles & ambiguity.

Good company
|
|
Smooch offers a flexible environment. You will be working with talented teams. A work environment that offers challenges and a good potential to learn. Coworkers are really friendly and will often do activities outside of work.
In terms of perks, flexible work location and hours, snacks offered, a lot of team activities.
|
It's not a bad thing, but it's a startup so you have to adapt to the change.
