Pros

My peers are often the very best part of my working day. Intelligent smart hardworking people who want to make a difference. Hard to do in a broken system.

Cons

There is little to no respect to those who have dedicated themselves in their areas of expertise - you are not rewarded for being a leader in your field. Promotions come from being a buddy with the CEO or someone else in his entourage vs merit based.

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.
