Pros
Good pay and team culture
Cons
Work life balance is non existent
Pros
There are some seriously great people who work at Visier so you'll have *some* amazing colleagues.
Cons
There’s been consistent high staff turnover during my time here, with many employees leaving voluntarily for better work-life balance and fair pay, while others are let go without clear notice or discussion. Unfortunately, it’s common for people to be terminated suddenly, often without understanding why. The term “performance” seems to be used broadly to justify dismissals, especially for employees who raise concerns or ask for greater flexibility. Culture & Leadership: Morale is low, and leadership struggles to gain the trust of employees. Despite visible investments in remodelling the Vancouver HQ and lavish parties, many employees find it challenging to afford living in the city, which is required for their role. Although the CEO frequently mentions the company's financial success, it’s difficult to reconcile that with the low and non-competitive salaries offered to staff. This goes hand-in-hand with the high number of lay offs. The low salaries make it hard not only to live in Vancouver, but to save. Those I know who have been laid off over the years have struggled financially because of this. Workload & Expectations: The company promotes a “high-performance culture,” but in practice, this often means increased workloads with little to no additional recognition or compensation. Overtime, including nights and weekends, is frequent, with little concern for maintaining a healthy work-life balance, and there is of course no extra pay. Feedback & Job Security: Feedback isn’t welcomed, and employees who raise concerns may face negative consequences. Many colleagues, myself included, feel uncertain about our job security, adding to the stress of working here. Compensation & Bonus Structure: If you’re considering a role, be sure to clarify the bonus structure upfront. Full payouts are not always consistent, and it’s essential to understand the terms to avoid surprises. Do not consider the bonus as part of your salary, it should be as it is titled, a "bonus". Negotiate a fair salary and the bonus is extra, if they even pay it out to you. The company offers some opportunities, but be mindful of the challenges mentioned. It may not be the right fit for those seeking work-life balance, job stability, or clear career growth.
Pros

Pros
Great product and TAM, some smart people and strong use cases
Cons
Dictatorial management structure, self-preservation culture (toxic at times), HR department AWOL, constant cost cutting and changes to messaging stifling creativity, micromanagement prevalent. Salaries and benefits (including annual leave) also much lower than other companies in SaaS (aforementioned cost focus).
Pros
- Hybrid and remote work (depending on where you live) - Bright, clean, and dog-friendly office (there's a signup sheet to bring your dog) with lovely front desk staff - 2 kitchens that have pantry and refrigerated snacks, non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages for free (snack options could be much better though instead of cheap and unhealthy stuff you buy in bulk at Costco) - Paid vacation, sick, and volunteer days - Credit to buy Visier swag - Room to learn from other departments for career growth (if your workload allows it)
Cons
First, a few comments on benefits... - Salary is decent, but surprisingly not that great for a tech company - No RRSP matching (a company of this size and caliber should definitely have this) - No parking or transportation allowance - Sick days are given, but it almost seems like a sin if you do take them, and they call you out if you've taken more than two - Hybrid work option is given, but depending on your department or manager, you'll most likely be in office 2 to 3 times a week. I've had some colleagues get scolded by their managers for not being in office on the "specified days" when THEY THEMSELVES don't even show up! Sometimes there's even no communication and I've been in the office alone or with one or two other people while the rest of my team is working from home... Now for the culture... - The company conducts a lot of surveys and receives constant feedback from employees... things that have been frequently asked for are RRSP matching and more flexibility to work from home, but I guess these surveys are just for politics and getting their little SMB award - There's an alarmingly large number of employees who lack knowledge in their fields, yet they act like they know everything, and are quite frankly lazy. Sometimes I wonder if it's fair that they're even being paid for the amount or quality of work they do. - There were a handful of gems that I would work with again 1000x over, but MANY people on the marketing and business team were always complaining and whining instead of actually putting in the work - Many employees are put in managerial positions when they definitely should not be in charge of anyone else but themselves - Going into the office is dreadful because each team has their own schedule of when they come into office, so the office is never 100% full at a time... not even 50%... - Managers are hypocrites and pick favourites... some are really moody and super unprofessional

Pros
working with amazing techy engineers
Cons
low salary and long working hours
Pros
Great colleagues and smart people to work with.
Cons
Low salaries and no benefits. Some people can work remote, and others HAVE to go to the office. They terminate people with no warning or 2nd chances. The company is a revolving door and that affects everyone’s morale. Cut cost mentality on every aspect.
