Avoid Canadian office

Senior software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Interesting projects, knowledgeable people, good location.

Cons

I don't know who are all these people who write positive reviews. Toronto office is completely different. We are workhorses, working for bowl of rice. Pay is low. No pay increase for more than 3 years. Poor benefits. Work load is enormous. Very limited grow possibilities for non-US employee. No budget for modern work equipment (monitors, laptops), you have to scavenge labs and office to find a decent used ones. Elevate team, that supposed to take care of people, just ignore emails from Canadian employees.

Pros

Nothing as such, only work life balance is good here

Cons

No hike or bonus. Poor management. Very frequent lay off. They will fire even freshers. They did reorganization of company at the time of Pandemic. And then they indicate we care for only business and not for the people.
