Pros: I really appreciated the WFH options available for Software Developer roles, especially post-pandemic. Being able to flex my start time sometimes made a big difference for personal appointments. It's a standard perk you'd expect from a big tech company in the e-commerce space.
Cons: Even with WFH, there's pressure for in-office days, which isn't always ideal if you're working remote from Montreal. It's not truly flexible beyond basic hybrid; don't expect 4-day work weeks or anything. Some managers aren't great at promoting remote work, even when it makes sense for the tech industry.
Advice to Management: Try to make the remote and hybrid work policies more consistent across teams and genuinely empower managers to offer real flexibility where possible. Don't just pay lip service to work-life balance.

Pros: They've got a decent hybrid model for us. I can usually pick my days to be in the office, which helps a lot with my schedule as a Software Engineer. Remote work is an option a few days a week, which is a solid perk.
Cons: It's not fully remote. Some teams push for more in-office days than others, which feels inconsistent for anyone remote from Montreal. When sprints are intense, the expectations for work hours can creep up, making true work-life balance tough.
Advice to Management: Try to standardize the hybrid policy across teams more for those working on e-commerce software. Also, be mindful of burnout during critical release cycles; true flexibility shouldn't disappear when things get busy.

Pros: The hybrid model is pretty solid, offering 2-3 WFH days a week for most Software Developer roles. It helps a lot with balancing personal stuff without always being in the Montreal office.
Cons: Flexibility can really vary by team and manager, which is frustrating. Sometimes it feels like they want big tech level commitment for a mid-size tech company, despite promoting flexibility.
Advice to Management: Try to standardize flexibility policies across all teams. It would help a lot with morale and consistency, especially for those working on different e-commerce platform modules.

Pros: I really liked the option for hybrid work as a Software Developer. You don't have to be in the Montreal office five days a week. It offers some control over my personal schedule, which is good for avoiding rush hour.
Cons: Work flexibility is a bit inconsistent between teams. Some managers expect more in-office time even for remote-friendly roles. It's not a fully remote setup, so don't expect to escape the office completely. You often need to be available for meetings during core hours, which limits true flexibility for those focused on e-commerce software development.
Advice to Management: Standardize the work flexibility policies across all departments. Be clearer about expectations for in-office days versus remote days, especially for those working on e-commerce software projects. It would help a lot with planning.
