Pros

Small team in the past, lots of juniors and mids but they were talented. Recruiter is very nice and worked to get me to do remote work out of province. Former HOD was great, and the shows they worked on were fairly decent. Fairly big budget for the small crew.

Cons

Limited budgets so short timeframe to work on things. Are picky about location, I was lucky to have worked in Ontario with them. Not great pay for my skill and experience, but they had good people and low stress at the time. Its a bit of an ask for you to have low pay, ask people to move to montreal, and have remote work.
