LoKnow Employee Reviews in Edmonton, AB

I’m the President, but I’m also an employee, I work for the CEO. I joined the leadership team during the pandemic. Interviewed over Google Meets, signed employment agreements digitally, went through onboarding remotely, and have worked 99% from home since joining, and yet I have felt more connected, more engaged, and more creative during this time than at any other time in my career. The talent at LoKnow is amazing, the teams are caring and honest. I’m looking forward to the opportunity to add more in-person time with the team in the coming year, but the career move to LoKnow has been excellent. The company is growing quickly and the opportunities to grow and advance are real.

Pros

Fast growing company means new challenges everyday.

The company has worked hard to develop a strong culture (in person and virtually), with opportunities to get to know team members from different cities, offices, and departments. Fun virtual get togethers and office picnics. Great benefits package An autonomous working environment with trust from your supervisors, and space to suggest ideas without being micromanaged.

Great work environment!

Director – Culture & Communications (Current Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 15 March 2019

LoKnow has a very collaborative environment. The team is hardworking, positive, respectful and welcoming. People act very independently and take their roles seriously. Leadership allows autonomy in roles with support as needed and there are lots of opportunities for career growth and advancement. Work-life balance is offered primarily through an unlimited paid vacation policy, where employees are able to take as much time as needed throughout the year, starting their first day on the job.
