Thank you for your kind words! Your pros are the perfect trifecta (environment, benefits, and product). We’re definitely are on a rocket ship, and it’s not easy. It’s people like you who can embrace our challenges and rally on, and in return we try and give you the best workplace possible. Thanks again!

Pros

- Driven and hardworking (mostly in mid-twenties) colleagues makes for a motivating work environment - Nice office and perks such as monthly bonus (w/ targets), lunch, office right on the canals in Amsterdam, good work/life balance, yearly Sales Kick-Off in Montreal - Room for growth and plenty of opportunities to take on your own projects

Cons

- The strategy/work systems are sometimes unclear which is due to a lack of communication with the head office in Montreal - Onboarding could be better in terms of integrating within the team in the first couple of weeks/months

Thanks for the review! I always enjoy reading reviews from our European teams, because even though we’re an ocean away, we still have the same culture throughout. I understand the time difference can make it difficult, but just know that we are trying hard every day to ensure a constant flow of communication and support. We’re so glad that you’ve been enjoying your time with us, and thanks for your hard work!

Thank you so much for taking the time to post. Our people are certainly our number one perk! As we get bigger, it’s harder to have consistent social activities amongst the entire org. Each department and team typically do their own activities periodically. Don’t forget about our many sports and extracurricular teams you can join as well! Let us know if there are any other activities you’d like to see implemented down the line, and we’d be happy to look into it.
