Pros
You meet smart and energetic young colleagues and the partners provide good mentorship. The location is good, close to downtown Montreal, and the office space is large. You can attend French classes while you work here.
Cons
Those smart and energetic colleagues that you met yesterday, are not gonna be there tomorrow. The management are great sale persons; they delude bright PhD students and graduates with their few successful portfolio companies, sometimes bringing them in from other cities or countries, only to use them as cheap labour (2000$/month salary and no benefit or insurance) for a little while and let them go after. They use the handful successful cofounders to provide reference, not telling the story of the other 100 who left their jobs and degrees for nothing. They leverage on peoples vulnerabilities, taking mostly immigrants with visa issues and minorities. When almost every employee in a company is a minority, you can't call it diversity anymore.
