Vantaggi
I’ve worked for 5-6 tech companies in Montreal since 2001 and TouchTunes is definitely the most fun to work at. The company culture in the Montreal office is a diverse collection of people who get and love tech. It’s a lot less corporate than some companies I’ve worked for, and we’re also pretty autonomous with regards to our other offices. If you live in Montreal, check out the London Pub on Maisonneuve or McKibbins in Pointe-Claire if you’re a West Islander and you want to see a cool jukebox. I’m privy to things like the company’s roadmap (none of which I will divulge here!) and I can say there’s a pretty solid vision of where this company is headed. Jukeboxes are still our bread and butter, but we’re also pretty up to date on where we want to go using the latest tech (buzzword alert: cloud, API and proximity). Generally, the management of the company takes an active interest in their employees. I’ve seen plenty of VP-level mentoring around here and I’ve benefited from it myself more than most. To sum up…basically, if your goal is just to punch the clock every day, this may not be the place for you. But if you believe in your own potential, and you’re willing to prove it to yourself and others through your work, it’s a good place to be.
Svantaggi
We have our crunch time, just like every other tech company. But, crunch time is always followed by chill time (unlike some Montreal companies that I will not name).
