Pros

- Great team members, and a pleasant work environment. Bilingual environment. - As far as I can tell, salaries are good. - The ownership is not greedy. They will not hesitate to invest in something/ressources if deemed necessary or worth trying. - No hard hierarchy -- although not always a good thing. - Clients/projects from different industries (B2B, B2C, retail, clothing, machinery, tools, etc. etc.) - The neighbourhood and what comes with it (Le Plateau)... if you like it - Monthly "town halls" where management goes over what's happenning/what will be happenning/news/etc, with lunch included. - Good work is recognized, and praised. As well, when something is not done well... they'll let you know (which I believe is a good thing, although sometimes can be done differently) - Lunch-and-learns - Perks such as coffee/tea, fruit, "5-à-7" drinks and snacks on Fridays, Playstation, other gifts/perks/events/parties here and there. - While its not always "easy" (afterall... this is life and we are in the workforce), the ownership and management always give a great importance to work/life balance. "Family comes first". Should you need help with something, they'll gladly help if they can. Of course, one must not abuse of it. - Metro (STM) walking distance

Cons

- No hard hierarchy -- although not always a bad thing. - The neighbourhood and what comes with it (Le Plateau)... if you don't like it - Parking

Pros

The office is nice and well located. Salaries are good. Good place to learn if you don't mind the grind. If you're lucky you might get to work with some nice people.

Cons

The work is really boring. Always doing Magento, sites tend to all look the same to "save development time". The upper management does not have a clue how to manage an agency. The projects are always under-evaluated, which puts a lot of stress on developers. Features are added last minutes at no cost. Clients complain that projets don't get delivered on time, etc etc etc. In the couple of years I worked there, I have seen less than a handful of projets delivered. The office environment is really toxic and it feels like a lot of people are on the brink of snapping. Some of the most interesting projets are sold as if they are being made in-house but are instead offloaded to other developers in Europe. For all the above reasons, the employee turnover rate is incredibly high. If you like working with someone there, enjoy it while it lasts because they probably won't stay for long. Promises are made, like compensations and stuff, but never really delivered.
