Pros

I met a few nice colleagues.

Cons

All decisions and approvals (for anything) are made by one person, the CEO. It is a high-fear, low-trust micro management culture. The arrogance of many long term OT leaders is simply off the charts, including the top guy. You will never retire from this company so start looking for your next job on your first day. You are already on they layoff list, the timing just hasn't been finalized. 😁 If OT products were that stellar the stock price would reflect it..(look at the 10 year stock chart). Toxic workplace is an understatement. Lastly, they respond to all feedback posted here to try to "spin" perception. Please don't fall for it.

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.
