Pros

- Decent retirement and health benefits - You will work with some very talented and knowledgeable ICs - Opportunities for lateral internal movement

Cons

- Your experience as a Software Developer / IC entirely depends on your manager - Pre-Covid salaries were very competitive within the Canadian market. Now salaries fall into low-average market range - Push for AI adoption comes from non-technical middle/senior management and lacks proper vision and direction - False sense of stability, I have seen many silent lay-offs happen since the pandemic ended - Lack of growth. If you are early in your career, do not stay here for more than couple years or you are likely to get pigeonholed into working banks

Pros

The insurance here is good

Cons

Super bad atmosphere at the company. You need to spend a lot of time to earn you director, MD's favor. The politics here is super bad. Pay attention to those who get along well with boss and be careful not to make them unhappy.
