Pros

Pay was at least industry standard. If you get lucky with the right team, you could get to work with some wonderful people, and have a great team dynamic.

Cons

Truly surreal levels of favouritism and lack of professionalism in more than one department. Knowing the right people or just getting lucky can earn a well paid position by doing and contributing nothing; working hard may or not see progression. Could be better with regards to personal development - courses etc would have been welcome.

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.
