Pros

Some really amazing people in the company, great facilities on the whole, dependent on manager you can have flexible working.

Cons

CEO runs the show with an iron fist and has no clue whats going on. Management of some teams is truly diabolical. Career progression doesn't exist. Benefits such as "paid for training" are blocked by management. HR is truly terrible.

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.
