Pros

Good benefits Attend industry sponsored events Decent pay

Cons

Working ridiculous hours like they’re IB but it’s not. If you’re not white you will be ostracized and looked down on. They will not train you and complain when it takes you 2X as long to complete a task. If your dual citizenship they will not allow you travel for family funerals because bereavement leave is only 3 days. The building is old and they don’t turn on hallway lights. Their management style sucks be ready to be berated within an inch of you life - “we don’t pay you this much to give us rubbish work like this”, “there’s no point meeting because I don’t care about your code”, “why do you think it’s okay for only you not to work weekends”, “do you think your special”, “nobody cares, it’s not personal it’s business”. Anyway if you’re not white or a highly assimilated immigrant do not work here. You will regret it!

Pros

The NY location is close to Grand Central Station

Cons

Slow Canadian culture that finds it challenging to meet US regulatory standards. Executives play favorites and gaslight employees, if you voice your opinion, they either silence you or try to manage you out with exaggerated "performance issues"
