      Pros

      -Work life balance is great, I can work from home as much as I want and the schedule is super flexible. I worked from across the country for multi-week and will work from abroad for a month soon. -My immediate manager are great and always fighting for their colleague -Good perks (RRSP matching, gym membership, etc...) -Excellent graduate program where you spend 4 months in NYC to learn more about technology with pretty much all-expense paid

      Cons

      -Even though my team use recent technology and that my direct managers are really great technologist, it is obvious that most other team spend most of their time supporting old software on old stack. -Difficult to get a raise since 2008 even though the company make more and more money -

      Pros

      Very good co-workers, Great technology stack. Lot of new technologies and integration with current work.

      Cons

      They dont even give you a MS cup. They ask you to buy it for 5$. So cheap! Management big on "Giving back", Immediate managers do not like it and are not supportive. Lay off employees twice a year to show profits. Only worried about shareholders and clients. Don't know the criteria for lay-off. So, you are always worried if it is your turn. They boast about mental health and wellness. No good, when they layoff employees like this. HR = Horrible Resources. When you are laid off, they shoo you away as if you are a fly. You feel miserable. They themselves say - "We are better than Facebook or Oracle. We dont fire you at 6 AM over email." Gosh! What a comparison!
