Pros

Relaxed hybrid/remote work environment. Free parking. Friendly colleagues.

Cons

Layoffs were frequent, with permanent staff hit hardest while the number of consultants from South America kept growing. Despite CEO assurances that consultants would be phased out in favor of permanent employees, the opposite happened. Promised bonuses never materialized, and annual salary increases were negligible. Leadership seemed more focused on boosting the company’s sale value than supporting employees. Some projects in Montreal clearly suffered from poor leadership and would have benefited from a reassessment of the managers.

Pros

Work worth doing, motivational career for saving lives

Cons

We all know the routine. An investment company buys a company up, then the culture dies, layoffs of key positions happen, benefits decrease and moral is crushed. In Intrado's case with Apollo and Stonepeak. Once the company was sold and the founders left so did Intrado's soul. Don't expect promotions, even if you exceed expectations for years, and do expect to be underpaid and overworked. They'll likely hire an outsider with zero public safety knowledge than promote from within. Zero faith in long time employees to enter management positions. Sadly long time facilities employees also get paid horribly despite grinding there for 10 plus years. Only the bottom line matters to investment companies and definitely not Intrado's people.
