Pros

Get quickly a VISA employee

Cons

Alithya will use you if you are in need of a job. They have a bad reputation for hiring people internationally at cheap salaries then firing them after a while.

Pros

- A lot of fantastic and very knowledgeable people work there that I had the pleasure to call my colleagues - Very diverse culture-wise - Various additional benefits, such as stock sharing, opportunity to get various professional certifications, RRSP contribution - I learned a lot, even I most of it was not related to technical knowledge - Actively seek out talent outside internationally, which positively contributes to the above-mentioned cultural diversity - A lot of resources made openly available to employees related to professional development, as well as mental health awareness and maintenance.

Cons

- Management does not take employees' opinion on the project prior to sending said employees on a project, while promoting the idea that at Alithya, you will be sent to a project that aligns with your career interests - The worst medical benefits I've ever had while somehow simultaneously having a very expensive monthly deductible - Potential paradigm of initially sending a team of employees that do not have the ideal knowledge/experience a project requires, with a goal to have them fail and then lay them off - Multiple intercompany departments, acting as almost a sovereign entity of their own, create difficulties in knowing who one must address for specific questions - Tendency to save on budget in order to maximize company profits by sending fewer people on a project and forcing them to work multiple roles simultaneously while not having any experience in one of the roles assigned to them; One an employee in question does not reach a satisfactory level of performance, said employee is replaced by multiple other employees who each have only one role within a team, creating an impression that all of a sudden they in fact had the budget for it. - Very low compensation relative to a respective role compared to other employers. - No actual selection in regard to which project you will be placed on; You are never given even two options to choose from, despite what the company promises. - Despite an abundant amount of resources, most of said resources are left up to the employee to find out on their own, resulting in a prolonged disconnect between what is actually available
