Pros

Decent benefits (pretty standard package), unlimited sick days (within reason, of course). Generally, the people on my team are great people and hard workers. The work itself is quite interesting and a good challenge for those who like one.

Cons

The company makes millions but gave no salary increases this year and really low annual bonuses. We're told to shut off our lights for an hour on Earth day but make sure you're coming to the office and polluting the planet more. Pretty typical mentality for a corporation. Was a lot better when we were Solium and were a Canadian FinTech company. There's more red tape now at every level, but with good reason, just challenging to adapt to. Also, we're always short staffed, but aren't allowed to hire more staff, so the work load is just too much.

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!
