Pros

Team and managers are good. Work life balance is there.

Cons

Salary is not competitive. For a product base company, HR has too much say rather than Manager. It’s a service base company with the tag of product base company Only CFO, CEO approves all the small financials or related decisions. No employee appreciation rewards as those needs more explanation by manager to upper management.

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.
