Pros

Strong EIM Vision Some great talented people who know the technology well Good work life balance with a mobile working culture Interesting work

Cons

CEO is a lose cannon changing strategy and staff every 5 minutes. Randomly aquired overlapping legacy products kept going for the maintenance. Impossible to integrate despite the grand vision. Serious competition doing it better for cheaper now eroding market share in most segments.

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.
