Pros

Flexibility, friendly colleagues, solid company that isn't going anywhere.

Cons

Descartes acquires companies as part of their business model. At times it feels / seems that they acquire a company and move on to the next one without much focus on ensuring the company acquired has what they need to continue to grow and remain successful. Promotions/ career growth is not defined, although its a great office to come into everyday, ambitious people seeking to advance their career I feel will struggle.
