Such potential, squandered

Pros

There are some very lovely people working in the herd. Decent healthcare coverage. Nice corporate swag. Beautiful Montreal office.

Cons

Time mismanagement runs rampant. More time spent updating data on slides and presenting status updates to leadership than spent doing the work. Micromanagement means any decision must pass multiple rounds of leadership before approval; projects languish in purgatory before being restarted with a 180 flip on direction. Matrixed, siloed workspace. 4-6+ hours daily in meetings means there's little time to do the job. Constant sense of dread and low morale. Lots of empty talk about culture and values that don't materialize into tangible employee benefits.

Pros

** Location Specific ** - Good Entertainment Options. - Relatively okay hardware. - Sometimes cool projects.

Cons

**Location Specific** In a word, if you have other options, stay away from this place. In terms of work, the tech stack and workflow are absolutely out of date and are the same as ~20 years ago. This extremely limits learning opportunities, and only restricts the programmer to the specific codebase. Lack of a software engineer or architect makes it messy and unorganized. Compensation is one of the worst in the industry, no stock options, ridiculous base pay, and minimal annual increase. You get laughed at if you ask for better pay, saying "we don't have this kind of money". Finally, the management is one of the most toxic out there, no motivation, no flexibility, old punishment style of management.
