      Vantaggi

      1. Pay is competitive. 2. Flexible work hours.

      Svantaggi

      1. Work is overwhelmingly dominated by documentation work. The documentation work is super redundant due to the industry (nuclear) and very, very boring. The documents have to follow the clients template and guidelines, so whatever joy you can obtain from writing creatively, throw that down the drain. 2. Chances are, you will gain very little useful engineering experience here. There are too few projects that would actually allow you to gain useful experience and even if you do get such a project, you will be writing documents 80% of the time. Some of the consultants here lack fundamental technical knowledge, due to their work being almost exclusively writing documents for their main client (see #1). 3. Inexperienced and immature managers. These managers have little to no work experience let alone relevant technical experience and walk around like they own the place. As a result, poor decisions are made and you might be blamed for project woes, even if you were the one who warned the project manager in the first place. 4. Micromanaging managers with no interpersonal skills. They will question the amount of time you charge to a task, down to the hour. They will needlessly ask for status updates multiple times a day for every minor task. Their language is very belittling and disrespectful. 5. The company is management heavy and management is placed on a pedestal. This allows for points #3 and #4 to persist unchecked. Complaints and even people leaving fall on deaf ears as no corrective actions are/can be done. If you are not a part of management, you are considered a "resource" and are treated as such. 6. You'll be asked to do work unbecoming of an engineer. You will pack boxes, label equipment, inspect inventory, create packing lists etc.... On top of that, management will even micromanage this task.

      First and foremost, thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed review. “Safety first” is of paramount importance in the nuclear industry, and the work we do in our Pickering office does indeed involve a lot of documentation and quality assurance. This work is governed by strict nuclear regulations and standards, and is subject to stringent inspections and audits to ensure safe plant operations. Alithya has a long standing reputation in the energy industry for the highest quality work and our clients rely on us for that. So this is why we spend a lot of energy (pun intended) on documentation processes. Alithya also executes projects for many other sectors and clients which are less documentation heavy, ranging from capital markets to health care and manufacturing and utilizing a broad spectrum of technologies including cutting edge machine learning. Alithya is proud to advise, guide and assist all our clients in their pursuit of innovation and excellence. We do take employee concerns about their work and their managers very seriously. We have put in place Officevibe surveys, designed specifically to enhance employee engagement and performance and where employees can provide feedback and suggestions to their direct managers and also to senior management, either identifying themselves or anonymously as they prefer. We value our employees and continuously use their feedback to find ways to improve the work environment and culture. The Alithya Team

      I have to say I’ve worked at another practice and can confirm Alithya found the cheat code to success. Great atmosphere, great leadership, great projects. The work is a grind and late hours are expected but not unnoticed. Alithya cares for Their employees. A lot of support. If you’re stuck on a task, you have a library full of people who can help you. Pretty solid group of people for D365 side. Travel is light. A big thing which is I think is great is the emphasis on AI. Alithya recently invested their efforts in AI to their clients and their employees which has been cool to watch. Can’t really see myself leaving this place to be honest. Be ready to learn and work hard, Rewards will come.

      Svantaggi

      Sometimes deadlines can be tight and can get people on edge closer to go live but I think that’s normal in this industry. End of the day you’re still a team.

      The name might look okay on a resume for a short stint

      Svantaggi

      The "Smart-Shoring" Myth: The company uses "smart-shoring" as a deceptive marketing term for gutting the US workforce. They aggressively extract US dollars from clients while refusing to pay for the local talent that actually drives those relationships. By replacing experienced Americans with the cheapest possible offshore labor, they have created a massive communication and quality gap that is embarrassing to defend to clients. ​Broken Internal Hierarchy: The leveling system is essentially a sham. High-level supervisors and managers are routinely misclassified in paths to suppress wages and benefits. Professionals with decades of expertise are left to rot in stagnant development tiers with no path for advancement. It is a deliberate strategy to keep overhead low by ignoring the actual roles people perform. ​Sales-Obsessed and Delivery-Hollow: Alithya is a sales organization that happens to sell services it can no longer reliably deliver. The focus is entirely on the next contract, with zero regard for execution. This approach has been failing for years. You only have to look at the tanking stock price to see the market’s verdict on this leadership. ​Reward for Failure: The culture promotes leaders who have presided over years of business shrinkage. Instead of course-correcting, they continue to purge great workers in favor of a workforce that lacks the language skills and cultural context to support enterprise clients.
