Pros

I have had 6 jobs over 11 years, and I have to say this is the best one so far no question! The energy, the people. It really is like jumping aboard a rocket ship. I read some of the GD posts before coming on and they come in two buckets. Really positive and really negative. I guess that is the way it always goes with reviews. I do not get how people could not enjoy working here. Applying cutting edge AI to automate legacy stores? What is better? Working at Bell or Rogers? Crazy to me that people had negative things to say about the CEO. The All Hands he runs are my favorite part! He walks through everything we have accomplished which is always a ton. Hearing the full vision of the company and where we are going. Growing 400% a year. It is awesome! He is fantastic and a visionary. I have no idea what those other posts are talking about. I believe they got let go for performance reasons, and wanted to "get revenge" after.

Cons

We are figuring out all the ways to scale and that has been tough. We are now in a good rhythm with installs but I am sure it will get even better.

Pros

- You will own lots of different responsibilities - You will be a part of a very fast growing company - You will have a ton of fun!

Cons

- If you do not like a challenge, not the right place. Having been here for 2 years, I have seen who does well and who does not. The people who do not like to have ownership, who just want a job, they really do not do well here. I really enjoy that actually. I want to work with people who care about their job, not just a paycheck. But not everybody likes this.
