Pros

There is a fixed training budget each year that you can use to get trained. The company offers reasonable benefits.

Cons

It looks like management has little trust in the people they work with lots of micromanagement and spread sheet management. Higher management only manages up and decision making is only allowed at the highest level.

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.
