      Pros

      Nice office in Montreal with free lunch and barista The product is great and easy to use Access to great sales tools

      Cons

      Insane level of micromanagement Very limited opportunity for growth unless you’re a man Long days (9am-6pm) and working weekends is highly encouraged Extremely high churn rate on the sales team, people leaving/being let go every month Management will hyper focus on something for a while then completely forgot about it. Their priorities change every few months, it’s exhausting. Salaries are low and comp plan is very confusing. Targets are increased every month.

      Pros

      Truly amazing people working there. Great team spirit.

      Cons

      Salaries are way behind other companies in the market especially beyond Junior roles. They offer "Career GPS" to help you get better roles, but those roles are rarely available. Raises are extremely limited. Extra effort and work is utterly useless and does not lead to a better role or a raise, and then it becomes expected.
