Pros

Benefits are good. Standard time off and great healthcare (once you figure out how it works). Solid product and industry know-how. Some offices/locations have great perks (others don't). Vancouver and Abingdon offices have it better than other offices (morale is better in these offices). You can wear many hats if you want to.

Cons

Salaries are under industry average. Bonuses are definitely not guaranteed. Long hours, no work-life balance. Politics abound in the Burlington office. Low morale, esp in Burlington office. Managers/Directors too busy having pissing contests with each other. Micromanaging of employees in some departments. Meetings are a way of life. There have been layoffs in past year+.

A total mess - avoid

Pros

Drinking out a fire hose - you will learn a lot, and quickly, because you have to. Most people are quite nice, there's a sense of "in the trenches" comraderie

Cons

HR and management are completely shameless in how much they underpay US employees, especially in light of benefits given staff in other locations. Burlington branch is expected to work, work, work and sacrifice work/life balance while everyone else at other locations can take a one month sabbatical because "that's just how it is". Especially nauseating when you see the basic quality-of-life perks that other locations get without question. Structure is a mess, goals are unclear. People constantly spinning their wheels with no real target in mind. Endless piles of work with no sense of fulfillment. Thinks it's a huge company but acts like a tiny boutique in terms of backstabbing internal politics and string-pulling to get bare necessities work done or prioritised. Infrastructure is pathetically behind basic requirements, no matter your department. It's a company of 2011 expectations with 1991 infrastructure.
