Pros

Passionate team members driven to help the company succeed. Everyone is passionate and excited about what they do. Great benefits and work from home flexibility is great. Everyone is supportive of eachother and doing their best.

Cons

The company lacks overall direction (this is common in startups) and executive leadership seems severely disconnected with the rest of the company. Makeship lacks job stability, with people's careers and goals not being prioritized. Jobs are unstable and insecure at this company, and this can be felt through your time working here. This creates a stressful and anxiety-filled environment overall, which leadership doesn't address.

Pros

- Very flexible work environment (good work-life balance, fully remote work, many social outings/meetings) - Collaborative environment - Lots of opportunity for autonomy & responsibility - Opportunity to work with very talented & passionate individuals

Cons

- Sometimes due to the nature of time zones & busy schedules, cross-departmental communication can be slightly difficult - Also due to being a start up, employees need to have good organization & time management skills (important skills necessary to succeed in fast-paced work!)

Pros

The work is exciting and you actually want to talk about it after hours Teammates who are caring, motivated, and fun; we genuinely enjoy each other A no-blame culture where we try, learn, and fail forward together Unparalleled benefits, amazing vacation time, and RRSP matching Very cool merch (duh) Excellent tools that help us do our best work Ambitious goals with momentum you can feel People-first leadership that goes above and beyond for staff and clients Annual team retreat somewhere hot and sunny, plus a team offsite for true face time with our remote crew It’s wild how well they take care of us!

Cons

Fast pace, tight timelines, constant ship calendar If you need a slow lane, this won’t be comfortable Bring solutions: automation ideas get a yes, not a maybe
