Pros

No Pros. I feel disappointing.

Cons

After acquiring the Microfocus, the relaxed and pleasant corporate culture of the original company was destroyed. They forced you back to office. Approved relocation plan was destroyed. Internal company mails are filled with photos of major VPs. It gave me the illusion that I was working in a TV entertainment company.

Thank you for your feedback. Over time, we have seen that while virtual work has undeniable benefits, coming into the office brings about more creativity, innovation and collaboration. We remain flexible and there is also a process for colleagues to request becoming remote workers.

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.
