Pros

Intelligent People who are really awesome to be around both in and out office. Cross-department collaboration is relatively flat.

Cons

Company literally grows through acquisitions, which means lay-offs, significant time spent on determining product parity, mindless painful eye-stabbing processes to get anything done, and constant fires from leadership that require all hands on deck for initiatives that never take off the ground. Working for a company that was acquired by OT, a lot of empty/broken promises made by leadership, benefits that were reduced and/or redacted once acquired, and loss of vacation days. A cost-cutting environment means the potential for lay-offs on any given day, so don't bank on any job security here.

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.
