Pros
-Major international name -One of the few companies headquartered in Vancouver -Recognition of work life balance -Casual work environment -Decent place to start out a career, especially if you are thinking of working globally in the future. Depends on what department or group you work for however.
Cons
-Promotion seems to be based on seniority rather than performance -Underpay employees in relation to competitors -Highly bureaucratic, many levels of hierarchy -Still a minor player in Canada -Current emphasis on cost-cutting -Focus is always on costs, rather than a total cost-benefit analysis -Lack of company social activities -Lack of communication and tight-knit culture with fellow employees
