Pros

Free coffee Office with big windows

Cons

When I first started, I learned that most of the oldest employees there had been there only for 2-3 years… that should have been my first red flag. Everyone ends up leaving after a couple of months because of how unhinged management is. Each team is secretly planning hoping for outside opportunities to leave this company. Management has a very archaic way of running things. Very European approach to the way of work. Management has a superiority complex and can is completely incapable of recognizing their own wrongs. It’s always the employees fault. This creates a work environment where a you are deadly afraid of making a mistake because they will come at you. Because of it, the company is going no where. They absolutely want you to suck up to them and they only value you if you overwork yourself. People have mention only starting to be spoken to kindly when they we staying late and working overtime. If you put healthy work boundaries it is seen as if you are lazy and not helpful to the team. You get treated based on how they view your work but they have unrealistic expectations for what’s even possible to do in your role. Management in Montreal will be the downfall in this company.

Pros

Great opportunity to learn, and grow as an investigator. Work load can get stressful, but it will teach you how to manage your time. If you invest in the company they will invest in you. Raises are good.

Cons

Everyone has too much on their plate including the CEO causing disorganization and mediocre training. Team environment is decent but could be better due to everyone being overworked during the 8 hours. Starting pay is below average.
