Pros

Talented people filled young professionals. Great benefits: Lots of snacks (including fruits), coffee, tea, etc. Bus pass, insurance benefit is awesome. Beautiful office in the Old Port Great vibes and atmosphere to work at

Cons

No overtime pay despite working so many hours...which brings me to my next point Expect to work long hours or else you look bad. Not ideal for parents who need to leave at 5:00pm to pick-up the kids. Hard to move within the company (a lot of favouritism is involved in the management's decision-making).. Oh and...only the managers get promoted.

Pros

The culture is great and the people are very fun to work with. The benefits are awesome and the company really seems to do whatever they can for the employees.

Cons

The salary is not as competitive as other companies in the industry but still above average. The vacation days are slightly low but still pretty good.
