Pros

Great work-life balance. Heavily sales focused, not really innovating. Growing via acquisition.

Cons

Lots of virtue signalling by all employees and leadership. Unfortunately, not a lot of those virtues displayed when required to act with integrity. Middle managers are prioritising their own careers over the opportunities that are available in the market. Heavily bureaucratic, you are just a number to a team of distant managers, no matter how well you perform.

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.
