Pros

Most people are really nice.

Cons

We had to fix and maintain on life support an antiquated application ecosystem having constant production issues. No budget from the company to improve the system, just waiting for a major disaster, and maybe then they'll put some money into it to fix it. Indian counterpart did everything in his power to block and torpedo the Montreal office's team. India office considered the Montreal office as a competitor that had to be squashed.

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!
