Polytechnique Montréal

What is the best part of working at the company?
Working at Polytechnique Montréal provides a supportive and research-focused environment. Although it is primarily a French-speaking university, it is still reasonably welcoming for English-speaking researchers, especially within international research groups. The collaborative atmosphere and access to strong academic and industry partnerships are positive aspects. Compared to some other universities, postdoctoral salaries can be on the lower side in general, but compensation often depends on the specific project funding and supervisor.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
I did not personally experience any particularly stressful aspects beyond the normal challenges associated with research work and project deadlines.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment at Polytechnique Montréal is generally collaborative, research-oriented, and academically focused. Teams are often international and multicultural, which creates a welcoming atmosphere for researchers from different backgrounds. While French is commonly used in the university environment, many research groups also operate comfortably in English, especially in technical and scientific collaborations. The culture can vary depending on the supervisor and research lab, but overall it encourages independence, learning, and collaboration.

It benefits from an isolated calm and productive research environment equipped with state-of-the-art simulation, fabrication, test and measurement tools  with access to sub-micron semiconductor design kits and process technologies.

This was my first work experiences in my field of interest. 
I liked the flexible hours and the lenient deadlines but always felt a lack of pressure when it came to the project i was handed.

Competitive context with highly  skilled individuals.
You will be working with driven people that want to be successful. It is a rich environment that can give you all means to succeed however it is a stressful place. 

I am s happy to have a exprience at this place. There is a lot of equipment and component for working on them such as Boiler ,chillers , ventilation system and all components related to above system.

i have accomplished alot going to that university. I learnt new things every day although it was challenging. Studying and working there is great, i overall really enjoyed it.

Low pay and high stress job (which is normal for PhD). Choose your supervisor carefully. Minimum financial aid for PhD students is well below the poverty line. The school should enforce higher salaries for PhDs.

I think that Polytechnique school is a very good place to develop your autonomy skills and also to establish a good contacts network. I would recommend it to anyone.

Great place to do research work and friendly environment. Students from all around the world work together, cultural diversity is noticeable.

as a research assistant you don't have a proper contract and no support. the pay is poor and the environment is not what you expect from an academic environment. horrible supervisors.
