Pluspunten

- Culture & People - WFH even before the pandemic - Flexible working hours even before the pandemic - Good benefits - Developer stipend for work needed things like keyboards or headphones, standup desk, etc - Personal growth budget for courses, lessons, events etc After the pandemic Igloo made direct communication of expectations and employees logging off at the end of the day. It was great to see the interim CEO making multiple speaches about why its important to log off. We got mental health days, Igloo days, and half day fridays all through summer and then they extended it at the request of employees and gave more Igloo days for holidays and such. We get "care packages" basically every other month with candies, coffee, tea, snacks and other neat things like swag or a charcuterie board, all locally produced by the way. This company goes above and beyond to show they care for not only their employees and customers but also their community. We raise thousands every year for charities and initiatives that we care about and Igloo matches donations through the PEACE program.

Minpunten

- No RRSP matching or bonuses or stock options - Proceeses can sometimes feel like red tape - Some teams have big turnover, lots of team updates - Product changes direction often, from rolling timeline to stones and boulders to a 6 month plan, and so forth. And new priorities always seem to creep up everytime the terminology changes.

Thank you for your detailed feedback! Igloo does care about the work life balance of employees and supporting communities through charity giving and spending dollars locally. While we have had some change and turnover in the past year, we are working to ensure the work and environment are one where employees will choose to stay. We will take your feedback on communication clarity around future plans and reasoning to leadership.

Pluspunten

Appspace has offered a great work-life balance, a willingness to embrace new ideas, and an environment that’s supportive without creating constant performance pressure.

Minpunten

Some of the challenges I’ve experienced at Appspace have been leadership inconsistency due to organizational changes and turnover at the upper-management level. At times, decision-making authority felt limited, which slows progress. There also needs to be more structured coaching and mentorship opportunities from senior high performers to help support continued growth and development.
