Pros

Very laid back sales culture Solid financial company that does a good job of maintaining strong maintenance stream. Very strong M&A strategy

Cons

Very laid back sales culture. Most employees are not engaged... there seems to be a lot of complacent employees. Executives do not seem to live corporate values. While a software company only, this is really a financial company that is primarily interested in the maintenance stream. Poor job of integrating acquired organizations.

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.
