Pros

Huge, globally recognized company. Generous, performance-based pay package, company vehicle, computer, cell phone, etc. Freedom to work as if it was your own business, within parameters.

Cons

Huge, globally recognized company - minimal market penetration in Canada. Leadership, especially in Eastern Canada, has eroded in recent years - far too much micro-managing, by far too many people. Corporate training teaches us NOT to "manage by fear", but this is the current trend, sadly, and it seems to be becoming more prevalent. It seems that certain people only want sheep, and "yes men", instead of independent thinkers - cross one of these people, and your career path is certain to take an abrupt change of direction.

Pros

They have a lot of on site employee amenities with a hybrid work model. Would recommend negotiating as much remote freedom as possible. Office keeps up the cool techy image and they have professional relationships with interesting product prospects.

Cons

Hard to work with as management is not clear on what they want/need from their employees. Higher ups also have had a history of misogyny and discriminatory behaviour that HR may be trying to keep under wraps and manage the perspective that it never existed but if you get to talk with them more on a personal level, there are signs especially from the other men. Also seems that there is a lack of accountability where management don't talk with each other clearly and expect employees to be the middlemen. Either they figure it out or they are shut out from circles. There is also a superficial act of addressing issues because "startup culture" so they move fast. But just as friendly as they start out, they'll ice you out just as quickly. Somebody also passed away recently and the reaction from management was PC at best.
