Pros

Entry salary a bit higher than IT service company competitors for same context (expatriates, newcomers).

Cons

Based on your experience, here is a summarized review in English. I would not recommend Astek Canada. The company seems to profit from expatriates with closed work permits, paying them far less than freelancers for the same work and benefits. Job security is non-existent; they will lay you off without hesitation if there is no new contract, ignoring your personal situation. The company's focus is solely on profit, with little regard for its employees. The high number of layoffs in early 2024 is a testament to this. Avoid this company at all costs.

Pros

It pays well, hires you quickly, finds you interesting project, and can train you through paid trainings. A lot of young people, a good place to develop your technical skills but also relationships with interesting colleagues

Cons

The priority always remain to perform the work for your customers. So sometimes you have to work extra hours, either late on weekdays, or eventually on saturdays
