This Company Will Simply Never Succeed

Recommend

Pros

Occasional glimpses of positivity in Fridays.

Cons

-Still no pipeline 4 years after expansion -They hire top-level talent that ends up leaving because those people are blocked and stifled by the fragile egos of the mediocre core team / management / bosses -They aim to be "Top 5 globally" at their craft but have no capacity to take on large scope projects 5 years after expansion. Their biggest project was delivered at a huge financial loss and most of the key people quit. -Requested tools take forever to be purchased, if at all -The Quebec City core team is a cultural liability for the company given their long term goals. If this studio simply kept doing cheap commercial work, then the culture / personal dynamic at Squeeze would work -Coming from an industry veteran...trust me, this company will NEVER succeed.

Pros

Awesome team of artists with great spirit and dedication, relax work environment and good balance of personal/family life and work.

Cons

Immense ambitions but poor means to reach those ambitions, most commonly no real exciting projects although 1-2 exceptions, close to no real pipeline and workflow, no project management / tracking tools well in place, lack of real listening from bosses.

The shadow of Squeeze...

Pros

Unfortunately, there is nothing attractive left in this studio. All the family spirit has disappeared because the management of some business has been given to the wrong people.

Cons

- There is no more family spirit, the employees are only resources used to the limit. After that they are thrown away or forced to leave when they are no longer needed or when they no longer do what they are ordered to do. - The salaries are more and more decreasing, no valorization during the years (until even not giving any increase during several years). Some HR are very clever at spinning things to put employees down. - Overtime is not in accordance with the law. I think the CNESST would be interested in having some information on this subject... - There are two types of HR in the workplace. There is HR that is there as a resource for the employees, and there is HR that uses the employees as a resource. Squeeze is in the second category. No sympathy should be expected or asked for, the culprit would always be the employee. The HR team is only there to make themselves look good to management, they are not there to help the employees.
