eSentire Named in
2023 Waterloo Area’s Top Employers List for Sixth Consecutive Year

We are thrilled to announce that eSentire has been named to the 2023 Waterloo Area’s Top Employers list for the sixth consecutive year. Now in its 16th year, the annual competition is organized by the editors of Canada's Top 100 Employers. This special designation recognizes employers in the Kitchener-Waterloo and Guelph areas that lead their industries in offering exceptional places to work.

We have been selected as one of 2023’s Waterloo Area’s Top Employers because:

• We encourage ongoing employee development through a variety of in-house and online training initiatives as well as tuition subsidies for courses at outside institutions
• We recently updated our time-off policy to an unlimited vacation policy allowing employees to take the time away they need – plus employees can work with their managers to incorporate hybrid work styles into their day-to-day to provide greater flexibility
• Along with signing and year-end bonus programs, we encourage all employees to become recruiters for the firm with generous new employee referral bonuses, up to $5,000

At eSentire, we are committed to building careers. We invest in our team so they can enhance their skills, master their craft, and develop the dynamic career they deserve. To do so, we have created an environment for our team to push and challenge each other collaboratively. We also have robust training and certification programs across our Security Operations Center (SOC), Technical Services and Engineering teams to support career goals and progression planning.

Additional notable eSentire employee programs and perks also include:

• Our mentor program is offered to all employees, which allows them to partner with a leader or experienced colleague for one-on-one coaching support as they navigate their career development
• Employees are encouraged to save for the future with the company matching RRSP and 401K contributions
• Employees also share the company’s success with a year-end bonus program that’s open to all full-time, non-sales employees
• Employees can volunteer up to 12 hours per calendar year with a registered charity or non-profit entity
