Pros

– Best parties in town. Period. – Doctor on site. – Free bagels at the end of the month. – Great insurance similar to all my previous employers. – Nice people in general.

Cons

– No possible evolution. Forget it, you can't evolve UNLESS you have friends that have high positions such as directors and producers. – Low wage compared to the industry and Montreal digital industry. – High possibility that you won't get an annual raise. They didn't give me a raise two years in a row, but every time they promised both times that it would change the next year. I didn't trust them anymore and I quit – Employees are treated like numbers, not like humans. – Lot of unpaid overtime. – Some managers scream at people and HR don't do anything. – HR actually don't help employees, or at least, not that I'm aware. – Management don't care about your interest and the skills you'd like to develop. – Most managers never studied in management and don't know how to manage people. – Way too many politics. It's crazy! – It's open space which was a killer for me, but I've seen people enjoying all the noise.

Pros

Remote work, free games. Good co-workers.

Cons

Horrendous pay, expectations of work absolutely unreasonable. Turnover rate pretty high, and instead of hiring new employees, just had the remaining team take over the work that required like 10+ employees. Then after requiring 200% productivity to make up for the lack of a team, complained about teams.
