Day after day, our incredible talent gives us their very best. They give us their ideas and their creative spark. Their willingness to just go for it, reach for success… and sometimes even fail.

The least we can do is make their lives easier every day with meaningful benefits, each with its own special purpose. Here’s the goods:

• A work-life balance: As well as vacations, a week off between Christmas and the New Year, FLEX days to use for whatever and whenever, and National LG2 Day in November.
• A boost for the future: a RRSP program with contributions from LG2, to plan your future with peace of mind.
• Tools to put your health first: a customized group insurance program, access to Dialogue – a telemedicine service – and unlimited sick leave.
• True flexibility: the possibility to work from one of our offices (Montreal, Quebec City, Toronto), your home, your cottage/chalet or on the road... It’s all good. Plus the chance to work outside of Canada for up to one month a year.
• Lots of opportunities to get together with your colleagues: 4@6, celebrations, sports and wellness activities, etc.
• Everything you need to work effectively at work and at home: MacBook and accessories, Google environment, access and subscriptions to various software depending on your role, etc.
