Pros

- The new offices are nice (though 10 min ride from nearest metro) - Can work from home - Staffing manager is very good and understanding of her staff - Social committee organizes many happy hours and events

Cons

There are currently major problems in the company that has caused a very high turnover rate in recent years. The consultants are nice, but in general the atmosphere in the office is not very pleasant. Employees do not trust managers. In my career I have never seen so many political games in such a small company. Consultants are not used to their full potential, and not according to their interests. The method used in the projects does not have a lot of added value because the developers essentially do code merging whereas the functional experts act as testers, the rest of the code is subcontracted. No real project methodology in place. There is little room for creativity. Little room for growth. Managers, with the exception of staffing manager, do not listen to employees. The company has been for more than a year without a director of operations and this greatly affects leadership. Without leadership, there is a lot of politics, consultant performance and commitment is reduced. Salary conditions, the insurance plan and the savings plan could be improved. Some of the comments on the site are either fake, or sponsored by management.

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry you felt that way while you were working at Processia. New managers roles have been created and internally filled since you left to ensure more proximity with the team members. An HR Generalist dedicated to North America has been hired as well as myself as the new HR Director for the group, and one of our main focuses is indeed to decrease turnover. We try as much as possible to assign our consultants to projects according to their interests, and to give them opportunities to grow – and yes, some of them are satisfied to work at Processia and freely share their positive feedbacks on Glassdoor. In addition, we have an internal initiative this year to provide more learning opportunities to our consultants – more to come in the few coming months! Processia evolves fast, we build on our values of ambition, teamwork, performance and proactivity, and continuously improve for the sake of our employees and of our customers. Now, this is the right time to step in!

Pros

Its it is a job, some good people work there.

Cons

The company has difficulty retaining experienced employees caused by executive miss-management. Staffing shortages and inexperienced employees result in shuffling resources from project to project compromising schedule, quality, and customer references. Some customers have gone to the software vendor (Dassault) to recover from poorly executed projects. It is common for employee yearly compensation plan reviews to be delayed well into the next year or simply not reviewed at all. Processia executive management focus is on budget and profitability, not quality. One of the most negative experiences of my professional career.

Thank you for your feedback. Really sorry to learn that your experience was not enjoyable. For sure, there was some turn-over in the past few years but if we look at the big picture here, less than 5% of the workforce left during the last 2 years. In our industry, which is very competitive, that's actually amazing! Turn-over is also part of the reality of any organization. That being said, about staffing shortages, did you know that we hired more than 12 people last year in North America? In a very competitive market that's actually good. For sure, we still need to improve learning and development and took that topic a step further during the last few weeks with new training initiatives to be implemented soon. As for the yearly compensation review, as you know there was some turn-over in HR during the past few years. That being said, we are also currently addressing that aspect through an improved process, training for all managers and more powerful technology. Part of the focus of the leadership team is indeed profitability: they are running a business, not a NPO. Although I have to disagree and I can't stress out enough how important quality is, and indeed at the center of every executive decision. One example of that is the time, the efforts and the energy dedicated to continuous improvement initiatives at Processia. We're not perfect and we know it. And we are working on it!
