Poor benefits, poor salary

Pros

Flexible time off Free food at the Montreal office Good maternity leave benefits

Cons

- Most employees underpaid. Not on par with tech companies, well below industry standards. - Unless at the GM/VP level, people don’t feel like they truly matter. - Company tries to push the culture of “you shouldn’t be here for the salary. You should want to be here to help the company succeed”. Lol - When any discussion related to compensation is brought up, the narrative is always to wait until “next comp cycle”. When that cycle is reached, people are often left feeling disappointed. - Poor organization internally. Created a bunch of complexities in their org structure only to lay off people at a later time claiming org structure is too complex.
