Pros

Depending on the division/team, you can manage your work hours or telecommute as needed (however, they are changing this).

Cons

Lack of management support (and I was a Tech Manager myself). No desire to spend on even critical systems in spite of multiple business cases and red flags about environments being overloaded, not being used for their initial intent, or both hardware and software being past end of life and vendor support. Benefits plan drastically slashed in 2012/2013, making it more beneficial for a two income household to use the non-Scotia spouse's benefits for even basic things like regular dental checkups.

Thank you for your feedback, it is very valuable to us. We’re happy to advise that we moved to a new benefit plan at the beginning of 2014. In addition, innovative investments in technology and process improvements is one of our current top priorities.

A couple of smart people who are kind and open to mentoring. Hours not bad given no deal flow in US.
