We always strive to treat people as humanely as possible, but we are well aware that the end of a relationship sometimes causes anger that can lead to bitter remarks. We understand that these remarks express sadness at seeing one's job come to an end, but it makes us sad for all those colleagues who give their best every day to continue to make Creaform a technological flagship and a unique place to live. Nous nous efforçons toujours de traiter les gens le plus humainement possible, mais on a bien conscience que la fin d’une relation cause parfois une colère qui peut conduire à tenir des propos aigris. Nous comprenons que ces propos expriment la tristesse d’avoir vu son emploi prendre fin, mais ça nous rend triste pour tous ces collègues qui donnent leur meilleur au quotidien pour continuer à faire de Creaform un fleuron technologique et un lieu de vie unique.

Pros

Direct leadership is good. Immediate team works hard despite constant complaints from legacy Creaform employees showing lack of trust.

Cons

Following the merger, leadership appears to remain largely aligned with the legacy Creaform organization. There is a strong preference for maintaining established ways of working, with limited openness to change or meaningful integration with the new teams. Resistance to adaptation is often vocal and, in practice, tends to shape outcomes. At the same time, leadership behavior reflects a cost-first, context-last mindset-- prioritizing near-term financial or structural targets without first investing in a clear understanding of the work, capabilities, or downstream impact. Decision-making seems heavily influenced by a small group of long-trusted advisors, and the CEO appears to rely on their perspective. As a result, the organization lacks a coherent long-term strategy and instead operates in a largely reactive mode, responding to the concerns of familiar voices rather than driving a disciplined, forward-looking vision.

Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed and thoughtful perspective. We appreciate your recognition of the strength of direct leadership and the commitment of our teams in a period of significant transformation. We also acknowledge that mergers of this scale inevitably introduce complexity, cultural friction, and differing expectations around ways of working. Following the merger, our organization has been deliberately working to balance continuity with evolution. While preserving what made both FARO and Creaform successful, we also recognize the need for strong integration across legacy teams, and broad representation of perspectives in decision‑making. This evolution is ongoing. We hear your feedback regarding the importance of deeply understanding team capabilities and operational realities before setting structural or cost‑related targets. Sustainable integration requires thoughtful investment, dialogue, and alignment—not just efficiency. Feedback like yours helps us reflect and improve as we continue to build a more unified, forward‑looking organization. Thank you for sharing your experience.
