Pros

Good location and some good staff (non management)

Cons

Senior management at Processia talk a lot, but never actually do anything. They also Micromanage every area of the business regardless of whether they actually know what they are doing or not. If you demonstrate any ambition for career development and advancement you will be shunned and told you lack experience, and if you ask for a plan with a timeline for career growth you are told you need to trust the senior management. All the while they do not trust their employees and show them no value. Senior management takes every criticism personally and are extremely emotional and unprofessional when it come to dealing with criticism from employees. They view employee departures as an act of betrayal, and will not refrain from being unprofessional and emotional upon employee resignations. They will be sure to tell you what a grave mistake you are making, how disappointed and angry they are that you are leaving, even after "all" they have done for you. Salaries and benefits at Processia are sub standard to say the least, offering 10 - 15K/ year less than anywhere else in the Montreal area. There justification being employees don't have to travel downtown. In the last 2-3 weeks there has been a mass exodus of employees. The key focus for Management is the bottom line. They refuse to spend money regardless of whether or not it is needed. They will screw employees over on there yearly bonuses if they do not meet their profit margins, then turn around and buy expensive cars and drive them to the office. This company is heading for disaster. Do your self a favour stay away.

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. Our goal is to continuously provide new opportunities and support the growth of our employees. We feel however that career development is a joined responsibility rather than a “one-fits-all” program with pre-defined plans. Although you didn’t feel this way, we value employee feedbacks and build on it to become every day a better company and retain our best people - because we do care. One of our core values is ambition and you must have mistaken it with arrogance. We are proud of our employees and with their expertise, in the opposite direction to the Hindenburg fall, we will continue our growth path to be the #1 specialized PLM Consulting and System Integrator by 2020.

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!
