Pros

Employee friendly, good pay and flexible policies.

Cons

Most products are on old technologies. No great scope of learning. Poor work-life balance. They don't even spend on good infrastructure facilities like hardware, software etc. They just keep on acquiring different companies and expand their business.

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.
