Pros

People I worked with were great, big projects, cool projects, benefits decent; however, employees contribute a lot off each pay towards the benefits

Cons

Too much onus on employees to source their own work, keep themselves busy and billable, unreasonable expectations on billable hours (i.e., employees are expected to be 100% billable), difficult to move up unless you are connected with someone higher up (i.e., less qualified people are promoted to positions and others are not given the opportunity to apply), pay raises are minimal or non-existent, the connection between performance reviews and promotion, salary increase, etc. is not transparent or logical (again, seems to be based more on popularity), no bonuses, layoffs seem to be strictly financially driven with no loyalty to employees based on years of commitment to the company and exemplary performance in the past, no RSP matching any more

Pros

Pay is slightly above average; peers are smart hardworking folks

Cons

Local internal management is non-communicative and don't seem to understand staff needs; lots of lip service was provided but little action was taken; no consideration for merit raises outside of COLA unless you are granted a title bump;
