Pros

There are none anymore. 4+ layoff rounds in less than 2 years? Read the tea leaves. This company is drowning in DEBT because of incompetent Execs.

Cons

There are so many to list its not even possible to list them all. If you like being laid off with absolutely no warning other than a same day mysterious zoom meeting and then having your slack/email/etc creds pulled before you even know whats going on so you cant talk to coworkers, this is the company for you. The company doesnt even bother to tell their own employees who was laid off. They are left to "figure it out" on their own which is utterly disgusting.

Pros

Great people! Great Leadership! You'll really feel appreciated in the work you do!

Cons

Pay could use a bump, but its government so you won't be closing a bunch of $100k+ deals.

Pros

The actual people I was working with directly were wonderful. This company originally had a really great culture, and at the ground level, it still seems to have really great people working there. My department was the least toxic workplace I have ever seen. Unfortunately, that good culture and good values does not seem to be common the higher up you go in the chain of command.

Cons

CP's upper management is currently driving the company straight into the ground. They've been acquiring company after company without bothering to maintain the quality of any of them, including CP's own original products and services. They are working their employees as hard as possible, with as little compensation and support as possible. They want to squeeze the most money out of everything without putting anything back into it. I expect this company to collapse entirely within ten years at the most. The pay is well below industry averages, and people who actually verbalize that get laid off. They did months and months of employee satisfaction surveys that satisfaction statistics of below 20% on the subject of pay and they did absolutely nothing about it. Lay-offs are becoming more and more common and are done without any warning or any consideration for how it will affect the departments who are losing staff. Upper management is beginning to look more and more greedy, short-sighted, and vindictive.
