Osedea Reviews

We feel really sorry that this person had a somewhat mixed experience at Osedea. This is not consistent with the feedback we get from our team. We are also surprised at the shaming and disrespectful behaviour as it does not reflect our organisation, and are not sure if there was a misunderstanding between two individuals in this case. Our team constantly tells us that Osedea is a great place to work, that they enjoy the feedback. According to our latest Officevibe results (anonymous feedback), our results put us in some of the top organizations to work in and our ambassadorship levels are high. Our team says that we work hard to make them feel like people, not employees, they love the workspace, great recognition,and find the organisation and the team inspiring and trustworthy. They feel surrounded by respectful coworkers. Also the rating of compensation and benefits as well as senior management, is significantly lower than any of the feedback received two years ago,, and we have since improved both areas dramatically. This is also lower than any of the anonymous feedback we have received through Officevibe. Again, we feel sorry about the takeaway of this person's experience at Osedea. Our goal in the short and long term is to continue our work to make Osedea one of the greatest workplaces in Montreal. If there is anything else we can do for you, please feel free to reach out to us and we will be happy to discuss further.

Hi there, Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re genuinely sorry to hear that your experience at Osedea didn’t meet your expectations and created this resentment. We truly wish you all the best in your next chapter and thank you again for your time at Osedea. We’d like to clarify a few things for anyone reading: On our structure: We’ve adopted a no formal hierarchy structure and not a flat/horizontal model. This is designed to empower employees and reduce unnecessary layers. It does not mean everyone is the same or has the same responsibilities. That said, we understand it’s not always easy to navigate, and we’ve worked hard to provide resources, internal support roles, and clear processes to help people feel heard and supported. It's a constant work in progress, and it can be greatly appreciated by people that seek this type of structure and a struggle for someone used to more traditional hierarchies. On working hours: Our intent is never for people to work evenings or weekends as a norm. In fact, it's quite rare that we do. If someone experiences sustained overwork, that’s a signal something isn’t working, and we have to know so we can address it. In this case, we are not aware of any feedback shared with Project Managers or team leads on specific projects, especially in the last year, where we did experience a few people being on the bench. On communication: We encourage respectful dialogue and welcome diverse points of view, regardless of seniority. While it is inconsistent with the feedback we receive on Officevibe and hires that joined the team in the past two years, if that didn’t come across, we take that seriously, and would love your feedback. Also, there is always a possibility to share feedback anonymously through officevibe or someone that you trust at the company. On your departure: We understand it’s frustrating to see job postings after a role ends. Sometimes business needs shift quickly. However, in the most recent case, for Software Engineers we had a period of 4 months without hiring actively for that role, so I am confused as to what this is referencing. You can always contact me if you have specific feedback and constructive suggestions.
