Pros

In most cases the staff are really friendly and helpful Offices seem to be good that I have visited Good coffee machines Very little is expected of you

Cons

HR use politics to make staff from companies they are acquiring believe their new hires believe their jobs are safe. No imagination allowed. Do things the OT way or you are culled. Only the top level of management have any flexibility or authority Pay peanuts No career path

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.
