Pros

- Rooftop Patio - Some great people - Great concept for a software

Cons

The department managers are all "yes" people being puppeteered by the President. If you're in sales, you're probably not sure who the actual manager of the department is. Though the "manager" has no problem saying yes to the President, yet refuses to give straight answers to their staff, often beating around the bush with an answer because this person clearly did not want to approve of an employee request. The manager often went around making comments to the advisors, comparing how many demos this person had booked compared to the staff. One of the most toxic and dysfunctional environments I have ever worked in. They will always appear to be a fun and good place to work but don't let it fool you. In the short time I was there, the management forced out four of their top people for not seemingly "falling in line" with the President. Overall a very uncomfortable work environment as seemingly one small blip and you are out the door without warning.

Pros

There are some good people working there. Good location. Decent pay.

Cons

Extremely toxic environment. Each department has their own group of bullies, whether they be management or co-workers. In some departments don't be surprised to see people in tears on a regular basis. Shouting matches over small details are not uncommon. Expect bi-weekly Slack messages that another person wasn't a "good fit" or "wasn't motivated" and have been let go. Sweeping changes are brought in my management without consulting or even really considering what works and what doesn't. The coffee sucks. The benefits suck (and aren't even covered entirely by the company) and you 100% won't get a parking spot in your first year so expect to pay at a nearby lot (though the company does subsidize this partially to their credit). No performance reviews until they're ready to axe you so don't expect any constructive criticism. The hours are also 8:30-5 with a 30 minute lunch, which is unheard of in the industry.

Pros

-Working in the sports industry -Working with some good, passionate people -Rooftop patio

Cons

Extreme disconnect from the President to the managers of each department. Unaware of the daily ongoings as the managers are too afraid or unable to communicate with the president. The department managers have neither the background nor the skill set to be effective leaders of their teams. The management culture of “pass the buck” and “tell them what they want to hear” is a regular occurrence. I’ve never seen a start up with such a positive environment, change so quickly to one of backstabbing, lying and general petty unprofessional behaviour. Leadership is non-existent and management positions appear to be given based on who your family is, how many apples you can bring the president or how many times you can say “yes”.
