Pros

Good projects, some very smart n good people

Cons

Greedy shareholders with terrible personalities. This leads to poor management style which trickles down from the top. It makes the ruthless horrible but incompetent feel empowered, n the competent good people with great personalities are driven out. The remaining good ones that stay soon change or are driven out too, leaving behind a hot mess of the most terrible personalities. Shareholders don't care, most of them are over fifty n are just hanging on so they can exit with good share prices - hence decisions are usually for the short term, not for the good of the company. Epitome of corporate greed. Merger with CRA seems to have made them more ruthless.

Pros

Good local company and local culture. Fair pay for senior levels.

Cons

Undertakes too many changes in processes, business strategies, organizational structure, etc. at the same time and it is being done constantly. Pay is a bit sub-par for more junior level positions
