GENETEC Employee Reviews

I have no major complaints, I guess it really depends of your team.The bistro is awesome, there's a gym with a personal trainer and benefits are great. I guess they could do a bit more on the later.

Great company, filled with micro managers

Shipper (Former Employee) - Montréal, QC - 26 January 2023

They suffocated me with micro-managing and no clear planning. Why hire someone with 30 plus years experience only to micro manage them to frustration.

Pros

Great benefits, bistro, friendly environment

Cons

Horrible management and that erases everything else.

I enjoyed my time here. Everyone was very welcoming. I was an intern however they made me feel like an equal employee. The perks of being an intern here are massive.

Fun workplace, no room for creativity. Smart people

Software Developer (Former Employee) - Saint-Laurent - 2 August 2022

Little to no room for creativity, albeit there are some legitimate reasons for it (backward compatibility, clients using older versions, just to name a few). Naturally with such constraints you are not encouraged to think out of the box and explore new ways of doing. I'd even say that's part of the culture. Huge emphasis on value and delivering working products. Maintenance, code refactors, not so much, unless absolutely needed.Pick your fights wisely.

Fun first job, great long-term

Corporate Communications Assistant (Current Employee) - Montréal, QC - 1 June 2021

They really do try to make all the interns feel comfortable in the workplace. I do occasionally share ideas and thoughts with lower level management but don't deal directly with senior managers.

Pros

Free 24/7 gym, cheap lunches

Cons

Bad for transit

Overall great company

General Labourer (Current Employee) - Saint-Laurent, QC - 4 February 2020

This is a great company to work for. The people are amazing. The culture is unique, it's fun, but the work demands a lot and it can weigh on you. The work is fun and interesting, but there lacks direction and collaborative internal tools. The president is a kind and generous person who genuinely cares about his employees.

Problem stems from the top-top

Finance (Former Employee) - Montréal, QC - 2 September 2019

Unprofessionalism and aggressiveness coming from exec team. They are constantly fighting and pushing this stress to vp's, where it then trickles down to the managers and employees.

Expérience dépend de l'équipe dans laquelle on travaille

NA (Former Employee) - Saint-Laurent, QC - 31 July 2019

mais il y a des équipes dans lesquelles les pratiques sont inacceptables, incluant du harcèlement psychologique. Tant que le propriétaire / CEO ne veut pas voir l'évidence et ne se pose pas de questions sur la haute rotation d'employés, la place continuera d'être toxique pour beaucoup.

worst place very bad experience

Analyste (Current Employee) - Montréal, QC - 9 January 2019

Lack of security of the job, always under stress that will lose the job, poor integration, enclave spirit of small groups and difficult to penetrate. The managers dismiss people under mood, in same way that they hire them. Totally lack of professionalism. Gossips about other groups in company and former employees. Not worth to take the risk despise the facade advantages. Those advantages could be found in other places. Worst treatment that I had in my more of 10 years of career. Only if you want a bad experience.

Pros

cafeteria, flex hours

Cons

security of job, stressful, never feel like belong, direspectful coments on the back

A joke

Developer (Former Employee) - Montréal, QC - 26 September 2018

Junior team leader leading us nowhere, who makes his technological choices based on what his "best pal" in the team tells him, pal who appears to be the biggest toxic incompetent rookie ever. Project doomed from the beginning. Nobody takes you warnings into account. One week you're praised by your manager for your good job regardless despite how bad the project was lead and you're welcomed again in "the great Genetec family", the next week, after one more manager change, you're fired because some executive is infuriated by how the project is going... Management does not give a single clue about employees, you will always be nothing more than a production resource, easily flushable. Management look like they have no idea where the company should be going, improv club with nice cars and expensive suits. The company makes money on existing cutomers and have no future vision. Bad management, toxic people, the salaries and benefits are quite good to try to keep people from running away, but just have a look at how high the turnover is. If you are a rookie or a not so good developer looking for a job with poor opportunities but with a bit higher salary, if you have no team spirit and don't give a clue about the company you work for and only go to work for the money, this is a place for you.
