Pros
• Ok health insurance. • If you are in office - free lunch. • For most positions work can be done fully remote and start time is flexible for most roles. • Decent yearly summer event. • FYUL will look nice on your CV and you can learn a lot working here. If things keep going as they are, this may not apply in the future.
Cons
• Salary is bottom of the barrel low for the responsibilities and tasks. Calling it exploitative is being nice. Yearly raises are extremely low, even if you have exceeded expectations in your performance reviews throughout the whole year and this is a multiple department issue not just isolated. • Management is so out of touch and incompetent, it's jaw-dropping. Genuine lack of knowledge and care dominates. No clear direction, no transparency as to the what's and why's. • The way management treats their employees is appalling. Overworking people is the norm and so is discarding them any random day of the week without cause. This has happened multiple times during the past couple of months. Management also at times is blatantly disrespectful towards its employees and talks down to them if they don't like your questions or concerns. • Growth opportunities vary by department, but for many there are none. Instead resources for growth and opportunities are granted based on favoritism. If you are part of management though - workshops, summits, certification seminars galore. Too bad, that hasn't upped management quality. • Favoritism - it's the elephant in the room nobody wants to talk about but you will see it a lot. A manager who has no experience with the subject matter, a lead who just happens to be good friends with the hiring manager, a senior that asks juniors how to do everyday tasks, etc. Ask any tenured FYUL employee and they will know of at least a few such cases in their department. Nothing is done about it. In the end, you get people that have no idea how to do their job leading other people or having senior positions. Recipe for disaster.
