Pros

Nice office in the heart of downtown, with nice perks and benefits.

Cons

Extremely political. Local higher-up engineering leadership at Vancouver is horrible, especially at MSN.

Advice to Management

Please reach out to employees for one-on-ones, etc., on a regular basis to try and get a real picture of it. A 30,000 ft view is not going to help retain talented individuals.

Bring in some positivity, as currently a lot of negativity is breeding in due to reorgs, etc.
