Solid start as a Junior DevOps Engineer

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Great onboarding process with clear structure and support from the team. Modern tech stack including Kubernetes, Docker, and CI/CD tools. Friendly and knowledgeable colleagues who are happy to help. Good work-life balance so far, and management seems approachable and open to questions.

Cons

Still early days for me so hard to comment in depth. As a junior, there's a lot to learn quickly, which can feel overwhelming at times. Would be nice to have more structured documentation for some internal processes.

Free parking and snacks can't hide weak management

Account executive

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Free Parking & Kitchen goodies.

Cons

Management is weak and operates with a strong blame culture. There is very little trust, and accountability only flows downward. While most employees have hybrid contracts (three days in the office), Account Executives are required to be in the office five days a week. This double standard creates frustration, especially since the Director of Sales rarely comes in and is not available to support the team. When results slip, the blame is placed on AEs instead of leadership taking responsibility or providing guidance. There is no real coaching, no flexibility, and no ownership from management.

Lovely experience with a lot to improve

T1 technical support specialist

Business outlook

Pros

Really liked my experience at Hornetsecurity Montréal. I worked there as a T1 tech support specialist and the team was really great, despite it being small. The managers are also open to feedback and regularly engage with us. Great training. A lot of free parking.

Cons

I would love to see more positions at the company. Most interesting placements are unfortunately at Europe and that can be an obstacle if you’re looking for growth. Only 2 days remote, but that’s okay. Salary is nowhere near the market of Cybersecurity, especially for a North American country.
