Pros

Good pay, good perks, great insurance, nice offices with lounge,located at the heart of the Old Montreal. Easy access to VPN and no-laptop hassle.

Cons

Terribly "banking" style. Despite being the SW development team we worked with the pressure of everything that goes wrong with people's money. The work is never done, more bugfix than new projects, lots of legacy, lots of stress. It is fast-paced and you better like that. Not easy to apply for internal transfer, despite the process being in place.

Pros

Multi-culture, good training resources, invest a lot money in IT (probably still not enough for the size of it and complexity of it). A fast pace company, you always learn new things.

Cons

American style working culture, which means long hours, not family friendly. A fast pace company, the documentation for the working process can never fully up to date. Promotion process is structured, but it's trying to squeeze most of you before you get promoted. High staff turnover.

Pros

Nice but not helpful management. Great name. Decent location. Becoming licensed and being paid salary during the process.

Cons

Atrocious hurdle rates. Branch managers and busdev managers not helpful - just go through the motions. Low quality employees all round - they take everyone and anyone who is willing to do a menial sales job. Not a great job in Silicon valley.
