Pros

BRP is very innovative and produces great products and is always looking for ways to move the needle. Very good compensation and insurance.

Cons

Life at BRP really depends on what department you're working in and who your supervisor is. In the 1st half of my career at BRP I loved it. You felt valued and respected. Although I worked on my own it was a team effort, sharing ideas and helping your team. Once I was promoted things changed if you are a strong employee with a lot of knowledge, you can be seen by your supervisor as a threat. That supervisor was more interested in making his high school buddy look great. Then in the last department, we had 2 supervisors that had very little knowledge of the product line and the customer base. My area was the top in that department. I had the respect of all the field personnel and was the person they called when they needed advice or how to do something. I was treated very badly by my supervisor and his boss being belittled in meetings in front of the team. Employees from other departments would sit in our meetings asking why my area was doing so well. They would not let me speak and took credit for what I did. It took me a while to write this review. No employee should have to go through what I did from these 2 individuals.

Pros

- Talented design studio with a nice track record an reputation. - Flexible working conditions.

Cons

- Zero opportunity for advancement if you are not old college friends with management. Promotions & bonuses are based only on the "buddy system" & nothing to do with performance = no incentive to excel. - French-only mentality. Global markets are ignored, underfunded & mismanaged. Management pays themselves useless, superexpensive International business trips with zero understanding of foreign markets instead of working with a local experts. - Rampant & noticeable racism. If you're not French & not upper management you'll be treated like a second-class citizen. - No innovation in systems & processes cause everyone knows each-other & thinks the same way & no one is willing to take risks or see what other companies are doing & try something new. - Overpaying for old & obsolete technology. Zero IT and digital expertise in-house & Major purchasing decisions are in the hands of newlygrads with no real experience learning as they go. - No listening to what the market or customers want. - Tone-deaf communications, marketing and social media. Typos, errors and mistakes in everything that goes to the public.
