Pros

- International organization with a large selection of technologies - Great local teams - Positive discrimination

Cons

- Is a product graveyard: Acquires companies for artificial growth without any consideration for customer base or developing new products any further. - Does not value employee's experience nor knowledge, only cares about short-term profits/savings. Top performers are quickly "downsized" in favor of cheaper, mediocre resources. - Silo-based organization with no interest in others (Which can be problematic when it comes to IT and HR) - Little to no career opportunities.

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.
