Pros

Great environment and communication with Management. If you are in Sales the company empowers you to manage your own business and trust your gut on your decisions. No micromanagement or KPI-driven environment. You can really feel the company’s value and business vision.

Cons

Even though its an English company with offices in London, Frankfurt and Barcelona, most of the employees are French (so you might feel a bit left out of most conversations if you don’t speak the language) and the company is mainly focused on the French market.

Thanks for this feedback! We've been working hard to take the culture of the business even further this year and it's good to hear it's paying off. Keep an eye out for the engagement survey in January, I'd love to hear more of your thoughts. Thanks again, Matt

Pros

The CEO has always been very friendly towards me

Cons

1) My time at Montreal Associate was unfortunately marred by a high degree of micromanagement. The work culture seemed to prioritize oversight to an extent that hindered productivity and creativity. This pervasive micromanagement made it challenging to feel empowered and trusted in my role. Regrettably, my experience was further compounded by what I can only describe as the worst managerial relationship I have encountered in my professional career. Effective leadership, communication, and support were sorely lacking. This not only impacted my job satisfaction but also hindered my ability to perform at my best. I believe it's crucial for potential candidates to be aware of the management style within Montreal Associate and to carefully consider whether it aligns with their preferred working environment and career goals. Transparent communication and a healthy balance of autonomy and guidance are vital for fostering a positive workplace culture, and I hope that this feedback contributes to the ongoing dialogue about improving professional experiences. 2) Very very very low salary compared to the market and other similar professions
