Pros

Average to good benefits; many remote/work at home positions. Reasonable regarding travel - just need to plan any 'must be home' weeks in advance.

Cons

Company is constantly buying other companies, each of which becomes the hot new product for a period of time; management focus and support shifts from other products in the same category. Layoff data in Q3 2014 skewed to a high percentage of older workers being let go, but not enough to support an age discrimination lawsuit.

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.
