Pros
An intense process that is good for practicing creativity, an opportunity to learn about the venture capital world, meeting smart immigrants. Pays but very little for a lot of work and responsibility.
Cons
Wild west, lawless, and fake it until you make it that you have never experienced before. Few great success stories, over a pile of hundreds of international students' exploitation. The closest thing to a cult, a machinery to make money and influence for others while you may or may not see the results. A very well crafted propaganda for outsiders, but very little transparency for insiders. That is why you hear very little about TL in the larger Montreal startup scene. Most EiRs are not based in Montreal, nor Quebec, but they are international students from Aisa on a temporary work permit sponsored by TL.
