Pros

- Lots of responsibilities at the junior level give you a lot of opportunities for development. - Relatively new player, so there's still plenty to build and a high degree of entrepreneurial culture. - Brand is starting to become well-known, especially in Canada. - Strong network and solid backing from one of Canada's largest conglomerates. - People are top-tier and stolen from some of the best investment firms in the world. Seniors are committed to giving mentorship and helping you succeed.

Cons

None that I can think of.

Pros

The leaders of the company have a lot of capital. Paul Desmerais the CEO comes from generational family wealth, so they have lots of money to hire people and the firm has been growing a lot since inception.

Cons

Even though they've been around since 2015, the place is still all about break-neck growth. Things are chaotic here and people are overworked. Many don't stay long and use it as a stepping stone. Paul and the other senior leaders try to be nice, but the chaos and the never changing strategies and multiple failed attempts at product launches make this place unsustainable. No wonder they have to run to the middle east to raise capital.
