      Management In touch with them self, Out of touch with employees.

      Pros

      I wish I can point out a few pros if you are US employee. I can’t even say anything about the unoriginal logo ( very Moonbase). But if you visit Montreal, you are guaranteed the best poutine fries ever in your lifetime.

      Cons

      I unexpectedly ended up a part of the great work resignation movement, kinda forced out, simply because LW has no clue what’s has and is happening out side the management bubble. Mealy 1-1.8% salary increase in 2021 after record revenue during the pandemic year of 2020. I warned them 18 months ago to share the wealth. Listen to your people. Give what they deserve. Get rid of the waste . Promote from within . Get rid of waste. Avoid hemorrhaging of your most talented assets. Nope. Deaf ears. All they care is about them self in leadership and displacing anyone with a better idea than their own. Don’t waste your time at LW. They over promise on delivery to clients , understaff projects and sadly underpay for over and beyond individual effort. They rather put an intern on multimillion dollar project than give a senior a chance to put ideas into place.” This place will give you another managers level work load and never pay or promote you, especially if you are NOT Canadian.

      Caution- Hire at your own risk

      Pros

      Good equipment, flexible hours, that's about it.

      Cons

      Toxic environment with a capital "T". I have never been around a more miserable, divisive group of people in my life. Management will look for any excuses outside of looking at themselves in the mirror. Younger analysts are cursed at, during team meetings management gossips openly about other colleagues. The pay is not worth it. My advise would be find people your happy to work with. Find a company that will cultivate talent and growth. The rest will come.

      Good place to work if you are looking for constant stress, anxiety, and managerial incompetence

      Pros

      Ability to work from home

      Cons

      Unrealistic work load. If you are not working overtime and weekends you aren't working hard enough by managements standards. Management could not make a good decision if their lives depended on it. They have no backbone and cater to extreme requests and changes from clients. Management chooses to ignore issues until things blow up, causing absolute chaos and constant disorder. Employees are viewed as money makers instead of people. Employees are constantly strung out thin and burnt out so the company can make as much money from one person as possible. No communication No opportunities for advancement Low compensation for the stress and workload of the position Zero onboarding and training
