Pros: - Very smart and friendly people who can help grow you professionally. - Very interesting and difficult engineering problems to solve; can get a bit addictive sometimes. - Management does care about your professional development and well-being. - Great downtown location, compensation, and perks (free metropass, etc.). - Low stress level - rarely have strict deadlines, and you can take time to innovate. - Lots of autonomy and flexibility in terms of what you work on, where, and when, etc. - Not a lot of drama or politics. - Decent dedication to doing right software engineering, despite imperfections.

Cons: - IT infrastructure (computing farm, network storage, etc.) can't keep up with engineering needs; you can't run as many experiments as you want. - Management is sometimes overworked, meaning less time to care about your progress/development. - Despite the usually low stress level, you occasionally still need to just focus on getting something done instead of getting it done right. - Understaffed. It's getting better since Intel acquired us. - The corporate culture is very good, but probably not as dynamic as newer places like Facebook. - You can feel distant from the rest of Intel since the acquisition. What the hell are they doing anyway? - The Toronto Yorkville office could be a bit more colorful!

Pros: Not bad work-life balance.

Cons: Things do not move very fast.

Pros: Friendly, professional, intelligent, fast-paced, effort.

Cons: none none none none none
