Pros

The people you work with are top notch. Like "keep the entire C and C++ standards in their head" top notch. Use a lot of open source technologies. Promote it too. Low overhead. Good gear. Good Benefits. RRSP matching.

Cons

Owned by Blackberry and going through a painful culture shock and transition. Salaries are low, and they don't even get it. Bonuses are low tied to BlackBerry results. Ultimately there are two QNX's at QNX. One QNX is working directly on BB stuff and the other QNX is working on their old bread-and-butter. And it seems as though the BB side is growing while the old guard are being snuffed out.
