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.

Pros

Option to work remotely (even dough encouraged to the office without a clear need or benefit). Lunch and gym at the office. Strong brand but disappointing employee experience.

Cons

In my experience, FYUL feels like a company still trying to figure out what it wants to be after the merger. There is constant talk about strategy, transformation, and synergies, but much less focus on actually executing and supporting the people expected to deliver results. Decision-making can be slow, priorities change frequently, and teams often end up working on initiatives that are abandoned or redefined before they have a chance to create impact. Communication from leadership is often polished, but the reality on the ground can feel disconnected from the narrative being presented. The organization appears top-heavy in some areas while critical operational and execution-focused teams are stretched thin. Employees are expected to adapt continuously to shifting goals, restructures, and changing expectations, which creates frustration and burnout. Career growth can feel unclear. High performers may find that visibility, internal politics, and timing matter as much as actual results. There is also a tendency to celebrate ambitious targets while underestimating the resources required to achieve them. Perhaps most disappointing is the gap between potential and reality. The company has strong assets, experienced people, and a large market opportunity, but too often energy is spent on internal alignment, reorganizations, and management processes instead of solving customer problems and building momentum.

Pros

- Strong employer PR and workplace brand perception in the job market. Looks good on resume. This is changing though, everyone knows FYUL post merger has been very poor. - Good and friendly colleagues, strong professionals and genuinely great people. - Free lunch, gym etc. Decent additional benefits.

Cons

- Senior Leadership Team are so detached from the reality it's actually impressive. Communicates the right things and does the exact opposite when executing. - Strong impact of the US corporate culture. Or better yet, the lack of it. Middle management is filled with unqualified yes-men and power tripping political animals. Extreme levels of promoting buddies and covering each other, as long as they can fake metrics to lie to the investors it's all good. - No career growth opportunities past individual contributor levels. Junior to Senior is the path you are on, don't have any illusions for more. - Unfair salary against expected professional level and contribution. Unless you are based in the US.
