ICwhatUC has an employee stock option plan – one of the perks of joining a company as one of its foundational team members! Stock options are built directly into our compensation plan and are offered as a bonus when we hit collective company goals.
Unlimited vacation
ICwhatUC offers unlimited vacation to give our team the opportunity to rest and recharge without thinking about a 'vacation bank'. We take a minimum of two weeks off per year, and we are empowered to take more than that as long as we make sure to balance it with our workload.
At ICwhatUC, you're empowered to work wherever you want. We work asynchronous-first, with the goal of reducing company-wide meetings and empowering our team to choose the working hours that serve them best. Some customer-facing jobs may require a specific time zone and working hours.
All full-time ICwhatUC team members have access to our employer-paid comprehensive benefits plan. We also offer stipends for mobile phones, digital wellness, and remote work setup.
Who we are
At ICwhatUC, we’re on a mission to create the world's best real-time and self-serve experiences. Have you ever felt like you could fix a simple problem at home or on a job if you only had the right expertise to help you along? Us too. We’re a SaaS company backed by one of North America’s most successful seed stage investors, and we are keying up for a year of explosive growth. If you are looking for a hockey stick growth curve, you’ve found it. We are a Google Accelerator alumnus and we have key partnerships in place with AT&T and Masco. Our company is headquartered in Calgary and our team is spread across Canada’s major cities. As a company that challenges our customers to think differently about the way they do things, we approach our work differently, too. We respect and trust our team – our asynchronous culture allows our team to build their schedule around their life, not the other way around.
