Pros

great work life balance but varies between departments knowledgeable and mostly hard working workforce good products

Cons

constant acquisitions with heavy work load for everyone extremely top heavy, more VPs than people who actually work ELT and SVP hire friends for whom positions are created low employee morale many jobs are moved to India and Philippines with these offices already having more employees than head quarter share holder value comes always first CEO is a total micro-manager HR or marketing writing positive feedbacks on here - I wonder why CEO approval rating jumped from 30% to 60% in a few months, how come???

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.
