Pros

- Great benefits package - Fully remote

Cons

- Speaking to management is like trying to talk to a brick wall. Extremely canned responses regardless of the question being asked. - The tech support section of the company truly treats their employees like they are just a number, with little regard for mental health or problems that arise on the job or on calls. - HR is woefully mismanaged. When asking for a credential reset I was emailed another colleague's login details in plain text. - Extremely small amount of time between customer calls, leaving no time to do proper post-call documentation.

Pros

Co-headquartered in Toronto and Leeds - very cosmopolitan with a high emphasis on DEI.

Cons

Tech company means people love ALLLLL the software. Information and resources are scattered across numerous platforms, which can be pretty frustrating.

Pros

ecobee is a great place to work because of the fantastic culture that exists here. Thanks to transparency from our CEO down, there are multiple teams helping support me in my role and hit my goals. Because there are so many intelligent, driven and willing people, we are able to work together to exceed goals and focus on what is important to our shared success. Many suggestions and support can be given because of it is known by everyone what you are working on and striving for. It also allows for frank conversations about what we can't work on because it would create misalignment with our goals. I am excited to be a part of a company that is constantly innovating, helping the planet, and looking to win in the market. Great time to be an ecopeep!

Cons

Too many great ideas and not enough resources to bring them all to life!
