Pros

Flexible working Nice staff and teams

Cons

Bad systems Micro managing CEO - do not give decision making capabilities to mid-senior management. Everything must go to the top for approval. CEO is immature reading letters on IBMs response in a QBR. In-proffesional Lack of clear company directions. Acquiring too many orgs without a clear direction and plan

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.
