      Pros

      Kind people, remote work opportunity, stimulating projects, hands-on CEO

      Cons

      Everyone in this company is overworked. I've had multiple days where I've been in meetings the entire day. Not even a 10 minute break. I had to be late to some meetings because I needed to pee. Ecobee has an insane meeting culture where everything has to be done through a meeting, standing meetings, bi weekly meetings, weekly meetings, update meetings, check in meetings, get buy in through a meeting, get advice through a meeting. Absolutely no time to do the work. That gets pushed to the evenings and weekends. They have a laughable thing called "Focus Fridays" the one day they discourage meetings. One. Day. Doesn't even get honored most of the time. One of these days an employee will get pushed over the edge for overwork.

      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!
