Pros

The ambiance between people was nice and devs were doing there best job to deliver the most value for their client. I learn a lot from them.

Cons

Since I started to the end of my job, I see the situation decrease year after year. I was hoping that everything will be better in the next months, but after the lay off I understand (to late) that this company is not going anywhere and was not going anywhere. Senior Devs leaving the company, no devs were hire to replace them not even junior devs (even with no experience of Magento). More and more client get angry at us, because of false promise and the lack of transparency. Management believed that one BE and one FE could handle 2 to 3 project in development and 2 to 3 maintenance projects at the same time, but the maths were not there for those people. In three years, management only listen to us one time. Technical aspect are decide by non technical people, those decisions lead the devs and PMs to took hits from client and generate frustration between PMs and Devs. True Magento onboarding does not exit for new people specially for PMs. Moreover, PMs are drop on project without any information and are ask deliver it, this add even more frustration between PMs and Devs.

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
