Pros

The work is good and challenging, and lots of adept colleagues. Good Benefits and like the general messaging of the company.

Cons

There is little opportunity for growth and little to no salary increases throughout your career there. You have to fight to get the smallest of increases each performance cycle. Existing employees are overlooked for promotions, they constantly hire from outside because it's easier to keep the same employees doing their same position. Outsiders come in with higher compensation.

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.
