Pros

great team members, flexible working pattern, easy commute to workplace by free bus

Cons

top management just interested in chopping jobs and throwing away more experienced staff to cut costs. No job security, some one sitting in Canada might suddenly decide to shut down an entire office to pay for his bonus

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.
