Vantaggi
Best place to work in Montreal if your NYC management is a good team, unfortunately ours is hostile in operations, so very toxic, and a sweatshop for associates that report to you.
Svantaggi
Contractual agreements by e-mail mean nothing to Executives. Gatekeeper bullies prevent you from collaborating, or joint groups, if they sense you're a threat to their ego/lack of skills/insecurities since many NYC staff have been there decades, and totally detached from what's going on in the real tech world on the street. Some teams are great: 3/4 of them, it seems roughly. If you end up on the wrong team, there will be finger pointing, scapegoats made of new employees, any mistake will be shamed in front of team, if your holier than thou boss has a hair out of place, expect to be shuffled and set up to fail, even if you ask for help from those who are neither Human, nor Resourceful. Toxic environment needs a sweep through by government legislators to cut off the bully bosses at their ankles, or better yet thrown out! Beware of colleagues, if you still have a chance to do research before joining, that have absolutely no recommendations, of any sort, on their LinkedIn profile.
