SMART Technologies

The work itself could be interesting, especially when investigating support issues, improving internal processes, and helping customers get unstuck. I learned a lot about troubleshooting, escalation, documentation, and how product/support gaps affect both customers and frontline teams.

The harder part was the environment around the work. Priorities and ownership were often unclear, expectations could shift quickly, and support roles were sometimes asked to absorb problems without enough authority to actually fix them. Management communication was inconsistent, and there was a lot of pressure around optics, attendance, and responsiveness rather than sustainable execution.

There were good coworkers and meaningful problems to solve, but the culture could feel reactive and draining. I think someone who is comfortable with ambiguity, limited influence, and frequent context switching may do better here. For someone looking for clear growth paths, strong process discipline, or consistent management support, it may be frustrating.


The word typical doesn't apply to SMART Technologies because this organization is ever moving and evolving in a very positive way.

My tasks, although at times repetitive, were always challenging and that is something I managed with pride and good work ethics.

I learned something new every day.  Whether it was about cultures, new Customs regulations or simply about shipping lanes, there is always something new to discover. This made my day interesting and enjoyable.

The SMART Technologies global teams were always there to lend a hand when required or appreciative of my assistance to them.  We were a team.

I wouldn't say that there were hard parts to the job, merely challenges, such as time zones and having the capability of reaching contacts abroad.

The most enjoyable part of this position was being able to say that I had done a good job that day, confident that our customers were satisfied and that I had contributed to the success of the company.

Since I worked mostly alone, I learned to manage the electronics department,to prioritise the work orders in a timely manner. As well as proactively identified quality and production process issues to resolve with process engineering in a timely fashion. When ever I needed hand,additional personel to help build in order to close the work order on time; the managers were always helpful. As well as any shortage of material issues, the material handlers were very helpful. The hardest part of the job was when the work order was incomplete by the material handlers, & I have to run around to find her/him to complete the missing items....the most enjoyable part of the job is I get to sit or stand doing my job plus get to walk around the ware-house which give me the freedom to exercise ....as well as the trust the supervisors & managements had in me. Since I always inform them of any issues, & report on progress, there was no need to supervise electronics in a daily basis.

SMART Technologies is a dynamic workplace with a strong focus on innovation in education and collaboration solutions. The company fosters a creative environment where employees are encouraged to contribute ideas and develop cutting-edge products like interactive whiteboards and software for learning and business environments. The team culture is supportive, with opportunities for professional development and growth. While the work can be fast-paced and challenging, it is balanced by a collaborative atmosphere that values teamwork and open communication. However, some employees have noted that organizational changes and restructuring can occasionally impact stability and job security. Additionally, there may be a need for clearer long-term strategic direction. Overall, SMART Technologies is an excellent place for those passionate about technology and education, offering the chance to make a meaningful impact in a forward-thinking company.

My lead was awesome but that is the only great thing about that place.

We had directors who would have their favorites and that made it had for career advancement.
 
CEO/CTO kept telling they will make billions on SMART KAPP which they ended giving out as bonus when company ran out of money.

Marketing Manager kept giving road maps and kept changing them.
There was no vision has led to this companies getting sold.

Used to be great, colleagues are some really nice and brilliant people to work with.

You have to learn the art of marketing and communicating in a nice manner to your boss otherwise there is no career advancement.

Make sure you do not drive home by 4 otherwise an email will arrive from the CEO complaining why did you leave so early????

My advise do not go to a sinking ship unless you want to drown in madness and chaos

Overall, I really enjoy working at SMART Technologies. It has unique corporate culture, cutting edge technologies and reliable products. 
In my day to day work, I manage relationships with partner; I manage different programs and projects; work closely with my co-workers and learn from them. I really like my manager, and his manage style.

The hardest part about my job is: I do not have any technical background.
Yes, I am fine with learning database administration, website updates, and IT products, but i do not have much passionate on IT industry, that is way I am looking for a job in a different industry.

I enjoy how dynamic my job is. I manage different program, participate in trade shows and conferences, help with website design, and create marketing promotional materials.

I worked at SMART Technologies full-time.Great people, salary, benefits, and I loved working there.
I'd always felt as if there had to be a place that would value my unique style, quick wit, boisterous laugh and zest for all things creative. A place that would understand when you're spending copious amounts of time in one place, you need some form of release to break up the monotony. It seems like I had finally found the nook "to hang my hat." People often forget that we're at work more than we're with our friends, family and significant others. Work should be a place that when we wake up in the morning we are happy to be getting out of bed and preparing for. It was for me to work at Smart Technologies!

SMART Technologies is an interesting place to work. The technology they produce for the education market is amazing and world class. Teachers and educators use the interactive technologies SMART produces in ways one never thought imaginable. Speaking with these people and telling their stories was my favorite part of working at SMART Technologies.

The company is currently experiencing some growing pains after the last recession. The new President has a good vision of where to take the company but is still working on ironing out the kinks with middle management. As a result it is not the most stable company to work for at the present time.

All this being said the people who work there are great and the company culture was improving.

- Can start your day at whatever time you want, as long as you are putting in your 8 hours and cover core hours of 11am - 2:30pm.
- Lots of talented developers that I've learned a great deal from, both from a technical standpoint and a good practices/maintainability standpoint.
- Strong culture of collaboration and cooperation.  Management will listen to and consider opinions of people at any levels, never need to be afraid of stepping out of line by offering constructive criticism and suggestions.
- Love working in education - is a great opportunity for me to apply both my technical and artistic skills.

A typical day at SMART is exciting.  Learned more on how the Interactive White Boards are made and work.  I am proud to be an employee at SMART.
It is gratifying to hear from Educational Customers who have been able to give Autistic Children an easier way to learn and collaborate with their peers in class.
