Pros

Starting salary is high People are friendly The company has a good mission statement Between Christmas to New year's is a company holiday.

Cons

High turnover - people in my team quit like every 1-2 years, and it takes 6 months to fill the open position. That means that there is always 1 or 2 open positions at any time and the rest of the team is doing overtime to make up the work. Between 40-55 hour workweeks and never got paid overtime ever. Vacations suck because the team is always on fire. There is never any time to take vacation. Very hard to get a promotion. Very hard to get a raise. There is no such thing as a performance bonus. The work is also very tedious and not fulfilling. Hint: if you want to know which team this is, you can just go on linkedin and see the finance team that always has open positions.

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.
