Pros

A great company to do the best work of your life, with a rich company culture. Lots of room for advancement and potential international opportunities. Also a great blend of people with high energy. Slick headquarters in Montreal and every non-HQ office also has a great space and culture.

Cons

Requires dedication and bringing your A-game. As company grows and markets it sells into develop, there is a lot of adaptation required. Rewarded with lots of social opportunities and room for advancement.

Pros

The benefits are great (fitness allowance, free metro pass, extensive insurance plan). People are really cool, fun place if you're into partying and binge drinking.

Cons

This company owns you from the moment they hire you. No life-work balance possible, leaving at the plannned end your shift is frowned upon. Many cases of burn-outs in the past year. People performing well are glorified, the ones who don't hit their objectives are seen as low-lives. Member of upper management position are not qualified, they were promoted based on friendships / were part of the team when the company started. No possibilities to move internally, once you start in a department they will never let you grow or move to another department.
