Pros

WLB, No PIP, no layoff. If you just want a place to retire and a stable braindead job working on business logic that means nothing to you, this is a good fit.

Cons

Low pay, slow promo, no growth. There are some especially incompetent managers/directors here. Who came to Canada in the early 2000s and pretty much stay here forever and just seem to be out of touch with pretty much everything. You are literally wasting your life here. Any self-respecting, intellegent, or aspirational indivdual would not last long here.

Pros

- It "used to be" work life balance - great manager(only works if you work for the right guy)

Cons

- It used to be a visa-friendly, all of a sudden, the company decides to review everyone's visa extension without any further transparent notice. - Pay is way more lower than industry average. - It varies depends on team. Follow the right boss, you will be in heaven. Follow the wrong boss, you will enjoy "Chinese 996 management" - Old technical skillsets Don't come.
