Pluspunten

The company is established overseas, this is one branch that is essentially required to make a certain percentage of profit a year, long as it does so, headquarters does not interfere. For that reason, all senior management are lifers, and have been there 10 years plus, so if you're goal is growth, you won't last long. Lower level employees get it the worst, however, if you are looking for a place where doing just enough to get by in middle management is what you need, this is the place.

Minpunten

Lack of senior leadership, the exec team feels like a circle that you can't get in on unless you are there for ever. A bit too French and snoby. No communication between departments leaves you lost in priorities. Feels like much of the exec team was promoted due to being there for a long time and lack basic knowledge in industry. Because they belong to a large corporationg they seem to think the need for innovation and development is very small. The Business Development team can acquire new business, but contracts are always low on staff and poorly priced. Of course salaries are as low as the rest of Montreal so make sure you negotiate.
