Pros

it's a big company in Quebec so it adds some bonus on your resume. they are using new technology (or at least trying to switch to new ones) aerospace and aviation industry sounds cool

Cons

worst on board bureaucracy and politics are very obvious in the team, you are on your own and never trust or rely on anyone big plans but very slow action laid off lot of people during pandemic, then expanded dramatically during the recovery, and cut lot of people again who have worked there for years. what picture do you get from this? have no problem of letting people go who have worked there for a long time and good at what they are doing. they talk about training people or certify them, but didn't see any action, especially now there is budget cut if you get an offer from them and think it's a really good opportunity just because of their big name, then really, think again.

Pros

Flexible hours when working at the office.

Cons

Men are given chance to improve and to stay in the company when in a low-performance period. This is not the case for women. They claim to care about employees, diversity, and inclusion but at the same time they will fire the only woman in a technical team without talking to her or giving any chance to improve as they do with male employees. It's a boys club, they can stay lazy and mediocre at their jobs and they face no consecuences.

Pros

- international teams - flexible working hours - table soccer

Cons

- outdated technologies - management keeps back information, they even lie in your eyes - crucial information is not transparent, most of the time you don't even know what the goals are - you are moved from one project to the next without asking you - management cares about only the numbers - extra hours are not paid - you must do tasks outside of your position - bad teamwork - unfriendly collageues - gossips - weak salary - you must fight for salary raise even if you put in extra hours, your extra hours aren't recognized - there are favorites even if they are mediocre at their job - they care clean code on paper only, but in reality there is no time - they don't care about technologies only the politics - btw politics, international teams are fighting with each other instead of working together - montreal rules everything, no independence - micromanagement - team leads only care about their own butt - homophobic environment, there are gossips about you and silent treatment
