Pros

WLB, No PIP, no layoff. If you just want a place to retire and a stable braindead job working on business logic that means nothing to you, this is a good fit.

Cons

Low pay, slow promo, no growth. There are some especially incompetent managers/directors here. Who came to Canada in the early 2000s and pretty much stay here forever and just seem to be out of touch with pretty much everything. You are literally wasting your life here. Any self-respecting, intellegent, or aspirational indivdual would not last long here.

Pros

If you're from China, speaking English isn't necessary, as most of your coworkers speak Mandarin.

Cons

Some teams can be quite toxic and always busy, while others offer a better work-life balance. It really depends on which team you're part of.
