Pros

ICs and first-line management is good. Mostly nice folks to work with.

Cons

Acquisition machine. Feels like there's a lack of focus or direction after each acquisition. It's been mentioned in a few other reviews, but there is a huge need to delegate. The CEO is also CTO of a multinational 10k+ company... Lots of attrition and teams are overloaded and burnt out.

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.
