Pros

Same as usual, some great people to work with, great managers if you are lucky. Pretty good work life balance (workload wise, if you ignore forced commuting). Ok benefits. Good career (lateral) mobility, great opportunities to start a career in tech.

Cons

Dusty forced smile old school American corporate culture, forced RTO, average to subpar hardware, ridiculous salary hikes that you “should be grateful for”, poor recognition, very slow product development, penny pinching, etc. All of these send a clear message to employees: “don’t work too hard - you’re a meaningless number anyway”. Result, not a lot of people care… Not too bad if you’re looking for a “cruise” or pre-retirement job.

Pros

While they claim to be "pro-employee" they are very much pro-Canadian employee. As long as you are a Canadian, your job should be safe. And US based role is in jeopardy.

Cons

Laying off all Americans. I do not see relevant data on location based statistics for the last 4 rounds of layoffs. The bulk of the "trimming" has been based in US. This is cost savings. Additionally, they post US based jobs for 24 hours then pull those and post H1B notifications that they could not find equivalent US resources and need to outsource for cheaper money.
