Pros

Health benefits are ok, but get more expensive every year. Good work life balance.

Cons

Frequent layoffs to improve bottom line. Annual raises, if any, will not keep up with inflation. If you are caught up in a general RIF, don't ever expect to be rehired. Company will post your job after you are gone and hire a less experienced and much younger person at a much lower salary. CEO too political. CEO talks a good diversity game, but If you are a older employee at a perceived higher salary watch your back. You may be next one out the door.

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.
