Pros

free lunch and very nice office; used to be very smart people to work amongst as well

Cons

Judging by the flood of goodbye emails with tinges of anger, frustrating and disappointment it looks like a lot of us are starting to become disillusioned. What used to be a big company with small-company mindset of getting things done without red tape is now a corporate "not-it" culture with committees formed to discuss the upcoming subcommittee's committees over the course of unhelpful and contentious meetings where nothing gets accomplished. Decisions are often made politically rather than what makes sense - something that's evolved here recently - and half-baked products are launched and iterated after the fact (if there are any engineers that haven't (speed wins!) moved on to a new project already) at the expense of customer experience. Engineers and experienced staff are leaving in droves and being replaced by the new influx of future management here - SALES. It seems that making money has finally replaced the need for solid development teams to maintain quality products and features. It's a real disappointment - and people aren't nice to you here either. Good luck!

Pros

This company take good care of its employees. It is easy to see as many employees are staying many years. Plus, there are a lot of benefits, and an amazing office with a LOT of snacks. Love it! It seems to be a good place to work for new mums as well, as they are quite flexible. Oh, and they organise amazing parties. Too bad most of the employees aren't really joining...

Cons

Unfortunately all good stuff comes with bad! It seems that there are not much opportunities to progress career-wise. You can easily work across other teams, but not really go at the top, so don't bother looking up! Some people are leaving the company hoping to come back to a higher position, as this way seems more accessible than within the company, which is a big shame.

Pros

If you're worth it, this place will reward you good. Very agile and strategic thinking.

Cons

Not many options for free lunches in Ottawa office. Parking in downtown is an extra expense if you're living outside the city.
