Tecsys Response

Hi there and thank you for the 5-star review. Thanks for mentioning that Tecsys is a nice place to work, and that the environment is friendly. We collectively work hard at making this « the experience » for all. Not sure how to address your con regarding distance from your home. Tecsys has 3 offices; one in Markham, Ontario and two in Quebec - Laval and head-office is in downtown Montreal, directly on the metro line, Atwater station. Due to COVID, we’ve all been working from home for the last 21 months, so travel to and from the office has not / should not have been an issue. Thanks again for your feedback and as your review states that you are a former employee, all the best to you in your future endeavors.

Pros

Having worked there for close to five years, I can say that the environment is great and the people that work there make it a very enjoyable place to work at. It is a great place to start a career, but merely a stepping stone if you want to go forward with your career.

Cons

-Company is reactive vs. proactive/innovative -Non competitive salaries (they give better raise when employees leave as their raise is split...) -PTO is not competitive at all, employees have to buy weeks of vacation off their salary because they get a fourth week after 10 years (seriously...?) -Perks old fashioned and not competitive at all -Company never tried to facilitate work from home except the first few months of the pandemic -Company never recognized employees that overworked for them (not even a pat on the -No bonus program, except in certain departments -Company does not organize any social activities -Company has no hackathons (for developers) -Company is not SaaS (even if they claim to be), all developers in R&D knows this and talk about it. As long as they support legacy versions and modifications they will never be SaaS. They have a hard-time maintaining an internal pipeline with QA environments stable... (seriously...?) -Company uses a proprietary framework which makes it very hard for developers to assimilate in. There is a LOT of tribal knowledge and most issues require internal tickets. -The tech stack is ancient and they barely starting to use some of the industry standards, and even then, they don't use it properly. -Management does not take input from technical leads and seniors, they are very hard headed. -There is no room for growth in the company. Promotions seem to be based off time vs. performance. -Company doesn't allow remote work, even when work from home is now a standard (really?) -Very poor onboarding program -Poor bereavement leave (I was given 2 days for direct relative). This should be at least two weeks.

Pros

People are warm, friendly and respectful of each other. It's a mini UN - love the camaraderie and cultural diversity.

Cons

You get hired for the job posted. Don't expect to be promoted any time soon. The only way to achieve this is to job hunt for something better. Management is renown for hiring directors, vps and snr vps from the outside. One may be so lucky to be promoted to "team lead", having all the responsibility of managing staff and up-managing execs without the pay. Do not be fooled with the company's open policy of transferring positions internally after a year's employment. It's a lateral transfer - don't expect a change in pay grade. Unfair practices of low-balling and undermining senior employees with ridiculously low salary increases while a new hire with less experience can earn 50% more than those individuals. Outdated processes in tracking time and expenses. For a company who touts itself as being a leader in the forefront of technology, they sure could benefit from this if applied to their own operations.
