Pluspunten

Nothing positive to add as a pro

Minpunten

The engineering team at Igloo has taken a nose dive over the past 9 months. The introduction of a new engineering leadership has made it an unstable environment. No clear direction, and constantly outsourcing resources. Quantity over quality appears to be the direction. This company is absolute trash.

We always value both positive and constructive feedback in reviews. Igloo was recently named as one of Waterloo Area’s Top Employers so we will respectfully disagree with some assertions within your review 😊. Igloo has made changes in our engineering leadership team as we focus on significant projects this year and next. In order to meet very tight deadlines Igloo has focused on hiring employees directly as an Iglooite for our permanent roles and for those roles that are only temporary, we have seen great success using external firms to support our contract work. We are disappointed to hear that changes we made at Igloo have not aligned with your expectations, but our recent employee engagement survey, specifically within technology, yielded strong and positive results with a +4 out of 5 on overall engagement. These results are being reviewed in more detail with the team next week so we can identify more opportunities to continue making Igloo a great place to work.

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.
