As the organization evolves, there is a lot of information shared with employees, which we understand can be confusing at times, for some. Leaders have regular meetings to discuss important topics and keep abreast of the latest developments. We welcome feedback from employees to understand what improvements can be made around sharing information, as we grow.

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.
