Pros

This is a positive and uplifting place to work. Everyone is friendly and responsive even when tasked with heavy burdens. People care and it shows. Great work environment and supportive teams and Managers and Directors all the way down the line. I also see room for expansion and growth within the company. Also, remote work, need I say more?

Cons

It is a start-up so all the wrinkles are being ironed out but that isnt necessarily a con but it is a bit of a struggle. Another thing I wouldnt call a con but a struggle is learning the business. I have never worked in telecoms so some of the lingo is a bit lost on someone who has no experience, but they did a great job of explaining if you have any questions!

Pros

- Genuinely makes an effort to put people first, values each person's input and feedback. - Leadership desires to create an efficient, innovative work environment that is welcoming and values different perspectives and backgrounds. - Exceptional pay and benefits package. - Top-notch, transparent, and visionary executive leadership team. - Beautiful HQ offices with many perks and amenities. - Remote or hybrid/remote schedules for flexibility and work/life balance.

Cons

- Not necessarily a "con", but it's a start-up that just celebrated its first year anniversary, and there are some hiccups and obstacles that comes with a start-up which can be frustrating, but these issues are already being ironed out. - The hiring process leaves a little to be desired. The recruiter has the final say about who to hire rather than the department manager, which is quite backwards and sometimes results in unnecessary confusion for the candidate and the department manager.

Thank you for your detailed feedback. It sounds like there was some confusion regarding the hiring process, as the hiring manager (and not the recruiter) always makes the hiring decision. If you need more clarification, please feel free to reach out to your recruiter or HR representative. Thanks!

Pros

You will find an excellent working environment within Brightspeed, there is spontaneous collaboration between departments and people for the good of the company, from the beginning you will feel welcome.

Cons

In some cases, because the environment is always amicable, it is possible that the urgency required for some projects is not evident.
