No it's not. It's pretty open overall. People sometimes discuss tech/business details in front of porn scenes as well because you have to. And perhaps among the first few questions HR is going to ask if you are OK with working for a XXX company (they didn't say it directly on my case but hinted enough) during the recruit process.

Now I am picturing an open office plan with a porn set one one end of it. Surely the studios are separated from the software departments?

No it's just some videos played in a TV in meeting room. It was for looking at Chrome dev tools I believe. Studios are not even in Montreal AFAIK but I could be wrong.

Alright, thanks. My other question was about culture.

What is the demographic? Are there a lot of women, gender minorities, etc.? Are things like harassment complaints taken seriously? In short, is it a "locker room" culture or more similar to what you find elsewhere at web agencies in MTL?

It mirrors a regular startup which is more male.

Agencies in general are more populated with women,gender minorities for a variety of reasons.

Porn doesn't hang on the walls. And you are more likely to find harassment outside of a business like this because everyone would try harder to make the female welcome because of the sigma.

Yeah the porn is mostly shot in LA/Miami I think.
