Pros

The vacation time off was nice.

Cons

I have so many cons about working here so let me put this in bullet points to make it easier to read: - They claim they are a teal organization which means its self-managed but its complete BS. You need to ask for everything on your own including your pay raise which can only be done every 3 years and its an advice process which means anyone in the company can give you "advise" on why you should or shouldnt ask for something. And by advise I mean, they will tear your self confidence and worth apart to make sure you dont get what you are asking for. - the people who have been working at the company for the longest are gossip kings and queens, Everything you do or say to another co worker will for sure to go the ears of the older heads. Its wild how much the people who work here love to gossip. They are all also either related or best friends. - There is no such thing as self- managed. Ask much as they say you dont have managers, you defiantly do and they micro manage you like crazy but when it comes to asking for a raise, they are the same people who will disagree with how much you are asking and ripe you apart. - Anyone can fire you. They have a system in place which comes with the teal organization called contribution review. If anyone in the company thinks you aren't doing your job or simply does not like because of some conflict, they can initiate a contribution review and get your fired from the company. It is one of the most embarrassing things to have to go through. You have to do a write up and explain how you do your work and what you have done in the past few months and again anyone in the company can join the advise process and rip your self worth apart and disagree with you. Its is so humiliating and I will never understand why people have the pleasure of doing that to one another - Lastly, the higher you are in the company the more you can pay yourself and but the lower you are the company the more under paid you are and that is why they are going bankrupt. People who are related to the CEO make $170k and higher paid job like recruiters are outsourced in India and ghana and they fired 20% of their Canadian workforce just to outsource more in India and ghana. They are certified B-Corp but outsourcing doesnt seem fall under B-Corp

Pros

The organization demonstrates a forward-thinking and experimental approach underpinned by a robust culture that encourages autonomy and a focus on service. These principles are inherently positive and are designed to maximize individual potential.

Cons

While the leadership team frequently highlights their dedication to a "self-management" framework, purportedly eliminating traditional hierarchies, the reality within the organization often contradicts this narrative. The environment is rife with individuals primarily focused on climbing the corporate ladder and engaging in office politics, skillfully masking their true intentions with terminology borrowed from the self-management lexicon, mainly inspired by the book "Reinventing Organizations." Unfortunately, operational dynamics diverge significantly from the proclaimed values, undermining trust and creating a disconnect between stated principles and daily experiences.
