Pros

The individual contributors and level 1 management are quite good

Cons

No growth strategy other than buy more companies and milk them so revenues are higher All processes are way more complex than necessary Mid to senior management knows not to question anything or make any waves or you are out. It is all about checking the boxes that you are. Wing asked to check whether it makes sense to do so or not. No innovation whatsoever

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.
