Pros

Generally speaking, employees are upbeat.

Cons

I left Levio recently. They force you to take projects that are not related to your field of expertise, I met consultants that quit as well because they were burnt out from changing clients/projects all the time. Regarding Levio's clients, the firm mostly work with antiquated institutions such as the Quebec government and banks. When I left, they didn’t pay the 3% they claim to pay as contributions for my pension. Their excuse was that I was not employed for 2 full years, therefore I was not entitled to the 3%. On the other hand, a consultant at Levio is entitled to an expense account of $2500 per year, and when I left, the director of human resources was hand-picking what expenses they wont cover from that account. Once I presented my letter of resignation, I was harassed to submit a different letter with an earlier date. And when I refused to change it, they inundated me with work that I was unable to finish in my last two weeks with the firm. During my time as a consultant, I spent 2 ½ months in Intermandat, which is the time spent between clients/contracts, because the firm was unable to find a client during the summer. The portfolio of clients at Levio is very limited. The account managers do not have deep knowledge of the field where the consultants work. More notably in agility, change management, and continuous improvement. This leads to acquiring clients with no experience in those fields of work as well, most notably the government. From my experience, upper management is like a wild west, and at the office I heard once a director make this remark as a joke "does anyone here speak Mexican?". The whole administration is made of people from Quebec while the consultants are mostly immigrants.

Pros

In house training. Social club is active

Cons

So many shady business practices. The 2500$ annual personnal subsidy for professional development (ADP) is a mess where you put your training fees, sport subsidies, office supplies expenses, and where you can deduct paid vacation time at end of year if money is left. If you need a computer for work, you have to pay from the same ADP. You may have to pay for your computer to work. Unpaid christmas vacations unless you want to work. Below average salaries. Below average raises. Overtime is paid at end of year only. A lot of unpaid corporate meetings (most at lunchtime) Mismatch between consultant profiles and offered client opportunities. Use repackaged Quebec CNESST personnal days (2) as general vacation days. Immigrant worker are underpaid compared to market.

Pros

Interviews are super easy. Good for immigration or landing your first gig in Canada.

Cons

It’s a body shop, plain and simple. Founder and his family run everything. They push an illusion of flat hierarchy, but since most people are “intrapreneurs” (read: unpaid volunteers), no one really owns anything, so nothing gets done and no one’s held accountable. Roles are unclear, responsibility is blurred, and there’s zero accountability. Org structure changes every 1–2 years with no real direction. Most focus goes to acquiring other companies and showing up at events, while internal ops are broken. The CEO loves being on panels talking about values the company doesn’t actually follow. Employees are required to use their own laptops and give full administrative access to the company under the pretext of "security" to be able to use Outlook and Teans, no kidding. Raises are 0-1%, even when they’re making a profit. Only billable hours are paid and everything else, including mandatory training and internal meetings and administrative work, is on your own time. Promotion? Forget it. They’d rather hire externally than grow their own talent. And beware: some clients require 6 weeks of vacation, but the company only offers 4. They’ll pretend to offer "solutions", but only the rare who took all their time off early (before Christmas) can benefit from paid training days to make up the difference. The rest just eat the loss. Diversity exists on paper, but not in leadership. If you’re not a white guy from Quebec City, your chances of moving up are close to none. PS: Most of the glowing reviews here are probably from partners or very junior staff who haven’t seen behind the curtain yet.
