Pros

I spent 10 years at this company, and it has been an incredibly rewarding journey. During that time, my salary increased steadily over the years and, after 10 years, had doubled from my initial salary. I worked on meaningful and challenging projects, and I had the opportunity to collaborate with truly talented, kind, and inspiring people. What really sets this company apart is its culture. Employees are genuinely heard and listened to. Every three weeks, we meet with a talent manager to openly share how we felt within the organization, in our projects or in our personal life. Leadership consistently demonstrated a high level of transparency through monthly company-wide meetings. The level of trust and flexibility is exceptional: 100% flexible work, unlimited care days, health benefits, and employer contributions to the REER all reflect how much employee well-being is valued. The Montreal office is also hard to beat. Filled with natural light and offering stunning views of different areas of the city, Mount Royal, UdM and St Joseph, the Olympic Park, numerous churches of the neighborhood — it’s an inspiring place to work. On top of that, the gym located at the top of the building is fully equipped and staffed with excellent coaches, making it ideal for anyone who values staying fit and healthy. I am truly grateful for the last 10 years and would highly recommend this workplace to anyone looking for a supportive, transparent, and people-centered company.

Cons

I will miss the company.

Pros

Friendly work environment, flexible hours

Cons

Timesheets, only 2 week vacation that you can choose, the other week is given to you at Christmas, they count your sick days, low pay compared to industry, lack of good projects, they have been struggling to find contracts so they just take any contract they can get. Not much room for growth, they don’t actually believe in progress of their devs, it is just about the amount of years that look good on paper for the client.

Hi there, we're really sorry that this was your experience with our company. We recognize that determining if our projects are interesting or not is very subjective and it is normal that not everyone may enjoy them. We would, however, like to clarify that, since July 2021, everyone at Spiria has a minimum of 3 weeks vacation + the week during the holidays. We also do benchmark our salaries for all positions and our pay scales are in line with the market. We wish you success in your future projects and thank you for your contributions during your time at Spiria.
