      Things are very slow, co-workers are obedient.

      Pros

      One of the leading organization in the country.

      Cons

      They have something called "Free Address" where you are not allowed to sit in the same seat you sat yesterday. There is no assigned seating, and you are to sit randomly across different departments everyday. If you are an HR, you have Finance guy next to your right, and Advertising guy sitting on your left. It's dumb; and the company expects you to keep things confidential among departments. (Yes, you have to hide documents on table with your arms while working)

      Great people to work with, but projects are not very interesting

      Pros

      Flexible hours. Great people to work with. Work-life balance is great. Opportunity to learn new things. Company really respect your opinion on whether or not you want to do something. Management is very approachable.

      Cons

      The physical office in Toronto feels "cheap" for the lack of a better word. Desks and chairs are very old and look like they have been acquired from a second hand shop. No assigned desks so it's first come first serve. On days when there's company meetings, multiple people have to squeeze into one desk-area.
