Pros

Good team mates, pretty good health care

Cons

As of May 2024, the cost of living in the United States has increased 21.75% since January 2020. We received ZERO Cost of Living increase over this time period. Think about what that means to your buying power!

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.
