Pros

Good salary. Opportunities for people without experience. Opportunity to work with highly relevant companies. Incredibly talented people. A few are not super nice, but most are. It's honestly a very good place to work in general, as long as your client is not annoying and your teammates are nice.

Cons

As a consultancy, you are never really safe. I was fired along with other ~150 employees in July 2022, because management decided the company wouldn't make enough money for its new investors (CDPQ). They don't manage hard decisions appropriately. When performing the layoff, everyone immediately lost access to their computer. We were refused the possibility of purchasing the equipment because we hadn't been in the company for "enough" time. Also, the excuse they gave us for the layoff was that our tech stack was potentially low demand (which is false, as people from all technologies and areas got laid off) or not very likely to be asked by a client. Around 200 people were on the bench (waiting for a project) and by the time most layoffs had been employees with an already assigned project, so not many people know why or how they took that decision, but it was certainly not an appropriate approach to solve their issues, and it put a big ugly stain to Wizeline's name. They tried to implement a compulsory hibrid model (after years of being 100% home office) making it seem like it was to strengthen employees' bonds, but they failed miserably and no one liked the idea, so they rolled back from that dumb idea. Forget about a salary rise or level upgrade during your first year. Even if you meet the expectations and go above and beyond. Very rarely are managers going to recognize or even notice your effort and the value you bring to the team. Although the work environment is not awful, you can easily see their core values are not as "core" as they say, and culture is more a buzzword than anything else there. Be prepared to be on the bench for a long long time if you have little or no previois.experience. When not being accepted in a project, it is usually the team itself that rejects you.

Pros

For the most part, I had a good experience at Wizeline. The experience depends heavily on the client you are assigned to, but I was fortunate to work with great people and had a lot of fun, especially during my first few years at the company.

Cons

I believe that offering benefits beyond what is legally required reflects a company’s culture and the value it places on its employees. When my contract was terminated (after seven years ), no severance was offered, as this is not legally required in the U.S. This led me to reflect on how other non-mandated benefits are handled; for example, paid maternity leave is also not legally required, which raised questions for me about whether it would be supported if needed.
