Pros

I thought the benefits and compensation were very competitive on a national scale and I was able to live remotely so long as I could access an airport. I really enjoyed my coworkers and direct management team.

Cons

I didn't find the culture to be as entrepreneurial as I would have liked and found it to be a little slavish to process. Not necessarily a bad thing, just not the culture that I enjoy. Also when I was employed there, there was little opportunity to work or meet others in our group in face to face settings. That may have changed.

Pros

While they claim to be "pro-employee" they are very much pro-Canadian employee. As long as you are a Canadian, your job should be safe. And US based role is in jeopardy.

Cons

Laying off all Americans. I do not see relevant data on location based statistics for the last 4 rounds of layoffs. The bulk of the "trimming" has been based in US. This is cost savings. Additionally, they post US based jobs for 24 hours then pull those and post H1B notifications that they could not find equivalent US resources and need to outsource for cheaper money.
