Pros

Unfortunately I have nothing to mention.

Cons

I would not recommend this company to others. The combination of a dying software products, micro-management style of leadership, lack of diversity, limited work flexibility, and a scattered product focus make it a challenging place to work. I would also caution anyone under the age of 40 to stay away from this company. Don't waste your time. You can't grow here. While the CEO may seems to be knowledgeable, there is a distinct lack of diversity and perspective within the organization. This can lead to a stagnant work environment that is not conducive to growth or innovation. Additionally, the salary offered by company is below market standards.

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.
