      Pros

      Very easy to maintain a work-life balance. Fair salary with decent benefits.

      Cons

      Very difficult to get recognized for additional effort if you are not in the right network. Company seems to develop a new strategic direction every 18-24 months.

      Good Place to Work

      Pros

      Great people as coworkers and friends. The benefits are good and the work is challenging. Campus is clean although work spaces need updating.

      Cons

      No such thing as promotions. If you want to move to the next level you must apply for the job. Very fast paced environment where most people are doing two jobs and can't find time for lunch. Recognition is sporadic and often only the high ranking employees get recognized.

      Pros

      Great co workers, fair pay. A good place to start at the bottom and grow. Treated people very fairly when they laid off 800 people.

      Cons

      Management was out of touch with upper management (Toronto). There was little to no opportunity to advance for some one mid career.
