The Studio in Montreal is great, and the environment of work even most of the ppl is remotely, is very cool. I had a delighted experience working with such talented people. Sups and Leads are very respectful. Other departments are also amazing!

Montreal is getting more expensive lately and tedious to find a proper place to live, is still affordable but is becoming worst because is a great place for living.
