Pros

Nice office space, right in the heart of downtown Vancouver.

Occasional free food.

Get to work on high-impact projects which help beef up the resume.

Cons

They are very traditional for a tech company; the rate of progress is loaded with processes.

Adoption of new technology is at least 10 years behind.

Any new idea is challenged by managers and not discussed openly. You will feel like you're defending it when all you wanted is an open discussion.

Extremely competitive co-workers; you have to play "the game."

Mangers are fabulous engineers but not great managers.

They consider working from home a luxury (don't do it).

Very low pay.

Too many projects that lack direction; you're always very busy working.

No room to grow or for promotion.

-- Not sure about the other offices; this is specific for Vancouver only.
