Pros
Benefits are good and vacation
Cons
Management in the Montreal office operates in a culture where communication failures are routinely redirected onto employees instead of being addressed professionally. Critical information is inconsistently shared, and when employees are inevitably left out of the loop, management’s response is not accountability or clarification — it is blame. I experienced this repeatedly firsthand. There is a deeply unhealthy pattern of gaslighting, intimidation, and managerial deflection. Rather than acknowledging obvious breakdowns in leadership or process, employees are made to feel incompetent for circumstances created entirely by poor management practices. Accountability at the leadership level is virtually nonexistent. The environment fosters anxiety, distrust, and burnout instead of collaboration or growth. Concerns are dismissed, communication is weaponized, and professionalism only seems to apply when employees are being criticized — never when management fails in its own responsibilities. If you are considering accepting a role in the Montreal office, I strongly encourage you to think carefully before doing so. No position, salary, or title is worth sacrificing your mental health for a workplace culture that normalizes bullying and refuses to take ownership of its own dysfunction.
