Pros

Great location in Montreal Downtown Free breakfast and fruits There are some genuinely good people who work there (But will leave the company as soon as they can)

Cons

• No transparency on products roadmap • Unreliable products with a lot of bugs and problems • Pricing of professional services is incredibly high • Poor support team, customers have many problems, some of them for more than a year • Very unorganized management, as an example: it can take you weeks for a simple approval • No human interaction with most of the managers • Lack of communication between teams and departements • The highest turnover I’ve seen during my career, Nakisa fire a lot of people for blurred and unjustified reasons. As a result, the vast majority of their employees are worried, stressed and looking to leave the company. Even C-Level employees come and go • Montreal office hygiene: Desks are never cleaned, rats in the office, office carpet is dirty and used…. • Company lost their partnership with SAP. That made the company lose many customers. … When reading the reviews, I really think HR posted most of the positive ones. And please consider that during probation period, HR ask every employee to post a review in Glassdoor. Most of employees will not put their job at risk by writing the truth. This is indeed a family and friends run business. Reputation in the market is right: The worst company, no values. Internal politics govern in this company. Turnover like never seen! If you already have a job, don't quit to go there, you will regret it as I did. Don't waste your time long term at Nakisa, Your career will stagnate. Joining Nakisa was the worst decision I took during my career.

Pros

Downtown location near subway and restaurants. There no other positive point I can list.

Cons

- Extremely high turnover rate including managers and C level executives. You can see an entire team leaving in one quarter (As for example in my team : Half of team members have been be fired and half have left for another fearing becoming jobless) - Unhappy Employees. - Management completely disconnected. - Every week, they dismiss employees contracts making work environment very unhealthy. - Family and friends company. - Management : Poor Leadership. - HCM and Accounting solutions are not ready for implementations (And you will be asked to hide the truth and sell them) - Many existing customers are leaving (Higher than the few acquired customers) making the future of Nakisa Uncertain. - No worklife balance, you will spend most of your time working. - Be careful, most of the Glassdoor comments are fake and posted by HR. Some of the positive reviews are posted by newhires employees, you will be asked to post a review during your probation period. .... There are plenty of cons that I cannot list as it can take a full day to write them.

As we’ve expressed before, everyone is entitled to their opinion. All employees make the decision to stay with an employer or not. Nakisa is in a great place and its expansion is due to the hard work of the great talent and minds we have on our team.
