Pros

Ability to work remote depending on position

Cons

Non-existent management and guidance. Same role in different region has different expectations. Performance metrics, for some positions, include a factor that is completely based on luck. This completely skews the opportunity for meeting your numbers compared to your peers. Managers, who you don't report to, can influence how your performance is viewed even though you do not report to them nor do they ever speak to you. Lastly, benefits costs increased considerably after acquisition. No attractive benefits with this company, everything from vacation to health benefits.

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.
