Pros

Good health benefits. Free food.

Cons

Some management is sexist. Siloed corporate structure isnt working. Can't get raises, but you can certainly get more work dumped on you. No direction for growth in Toronto. Culture is garbage and everyone is leaving. Do not take a job on contract, they will NEVER make you full time.

Pros

Relatively easy to get things done for a company with such a long history. Certainly not "start up" like, but processes like resource allocation have less overhead than working at a company like Google. Pay was pretty good for the midwest. I hear they are currently pretty open to remote work. It's also not the hardest place to work.

Cons

Opportunities are limited in software engineering. Since Apollo took over, SE was viewed mostly under the lens of "what is the least we can invest here to get the job done". There used to be a really good office in Champaign with lots of very talented software engineers put together. That's gone now.
