Pros: - Work from home (for now) - Pay is good for the Canadian market for now

Cons: Benefits are below average for a company of this size/stature. They nickel and dime employees, taking away benefits and making employees pay for extended health and medical coverage that used to be free. The talent system revamp makes no sense. They will pay an external hire more than an internal promotion for the same scope of responsibilities. There is no room for promotions. The HR Chief is a train wreck.
