Pros

Startup culture Innovative product Tangible value for Customers Working with smart people who are willing & understand the product Transparency on company's growth ambitions Reasonably good compensation - considering an overall healthy work-life balance

Cons

Mostly due to face pace environment & teams in different locations: Lack of structure/formal processes sometimes undocumented or out of date (HR/Internal) Information can be scattered across different source of truths, i.e. too many internal tools used for different purposes The dynamic between Product team & Customers projects can be difficult at time Career levels + roles & responsibilities can sometimes overlap, while the performance process is not straight forward

Pros

Salary is ok but not great

Cons

Do not expect professional behaviour - behaviour is based on politics and assumptions ( if joining in Toronto, most probably you may have to deal with a psycho too ) - may be this is expected in a small company ? but believe me its worse here. Third world level culture/behaviour in Canada. Grew quickly from 200 or so employees, so core employees remain un professional / untrained in their behaviour and try playing politics Not even a single process is at acceptable level in this company. If you try to correct them, you will be shunned. No development work in Toronto - its all professional service work as a consultant and you will be treated as a consultant not a developer. Don’t expect permanent work from home You will be lied to about benefits
