Pros

Most senior managers care about their people. The company hires really smart people. Team-work is good. The company has recently launched programs on values and leadership development.

Cons

The CEO is unprofessional, loves to publicly humiliate others and micro-manages everything. Turnover at the top has been extremely high with this CEO. We are on our 4th CMO in 3 years and the other executive roles have turned over at least once during that time frame.

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.
