Hootsuite

Hootsuite is still a very young company that needs to understand how to continue to grow and manage to retain good employees. They suffer from lack of planning and don't support their lower level managers enough. Overall, I thought this was a great place to work for the short term but in the long term, I believe it's important to be part of a company that provides the resources to support its employees success in their roles and also acknowledges hard work through internal promotion.

Management expects long hours and even on off days there is soft pressure to stay connected.  Salaries and benefits are competetive but the management style doesn't bring out the best in most people.  There is very high 40% attrition because of above.  Still operates like a start up organization and business direction changes frequently depending on who's in charge.  Not a sustainable environment.  Some departments have 1-1.5 year as average length of service 

I started at Hootsuite when there were 20 or so people. I left when there were over 800. As a result, I received an education in business, marketing, product development, and entrepreneurship that is akin to completing an MBA. My focus was on marketing, and specifically content and branding. The hardest part of the job was keeping up with the incredibly fast pace and change that occurred in a company scaling as fast as we did. The best part of the job was the insanely steep learning curve.

What is the best part of working at the company?
the people and culture was the best part 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Management acting as if we were all disposable. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
very good, as ppl stuck together who we’re all in agreeance  that we felt the same way. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Busy, fast pace and interesting.

This place was great when it was first starting out and for the first few years. Everyone was excited to be there and culture was at an all-time high. But then new managers were brought on board, good employees weren't given opportunities to move up and middle managers were a dime a dozen.

Loved working at Hootsuite! It's a face paced environment so you're always learning something new. 

Co-workers and management are outstanding, everyone has a lot on their plates, but are always willing to stop and help out when you ask. 

I loved working in the platform and with our clients - you truly feel like your work is meaningful and that you're making a difference.

The people are so nice and supportive and overall lovely to work with. Benefits are great, with especially generous vacation time. I feel very valued by my bosses and feel safe voicing any personal issues to them to get the support I need.  The culture is great. Lots of free food, office socials, team socials, and holiday parties.

Work aloud engineering environment with lots of opportunity for knowledge sharing. Good people and amazing workspace. Fast paced product cycles challenges everyone to do their best and learn in the process.

Fun and Fast past work environment where people are happy put in the extra work to make the company succeed. The company is full of talented colleague that are willing an able to adapt to a changing industry and competitive environment.

Fast moving tech company with great managers and colleagues. Good benefits and very much lives up to their commitment to equity and inclusion. Only con is change fatigue, as with most tech companies change is needed to be agile and competitive within the space
