What is the company culture at Sagard?

Sagard offers a strong platform for hands-on experience in investing, with lean teams that give employees meaningful responsibility early in their careers. The firm has a collaborative, entrepreneurial culture and provides direct exposure to senior leadership and high-quality deals. Compensation is competitive, and the global presence creates opportunities to work across different markets and strategies.

The workload can be demanding, especially during active deal periods, which may impact work-life balance. The lean structure, while beneficial for responsibility, can also mean less formal training and fewer support resources compared to larger firms. Expectations are high, and the fast-paced environment may not suit those looking for a more structured or predictable workflow.

Hybrid schedule, great team, parking stipend, good benefits, progressive culture.

In a period of growth. A lot of time is being spent making processes scalable. Growing pains.

Fast growing, good culture from top

Lower pay but higher bonus

- Lots of responsibilities at the junior level give you a lot of opportunities for development. - Relatively new player, so there's still plenty to build and a high degree of entrepreneurial culture. - Brand is starting to become well-known, especially in Canada. - Strong network and solid backing from one of Canada's largest conglomerates. - People are top-tier and stolen from some of the best investment firms in the world. Seniors are committed to giving mentorship and helping you succeed.

None that I can think of.

The environment was great and loved my interactions with all my colleagues. Provides adequate transparency on the company and it operates,

The IT Senior Management and CISO didn't provide many growth opportunities and was political about everything. Didn't enjoy working with the CISO and the senior manager (2021-2022). The pay wasn't that great as well.
