Pros

Great clients and varied work.

Cons

Controlled from the US. No Canadian leadership. No growth plans. No investment in new ideas. Profitability achieved on backs of employees, whose compensation is frozen or cut back. Departures are tolerated, even encouraged -- remaining cohort is expected to pick up the slack. Quality is suffering.

Pros

-Trustworthy immediate colleagues -Good work/life balance and flexibility

Cons

-Little career pathing within company. Organization is extremely siloed, and cheap as they simply aren't interested in paying for small things to advance one's career like local industry conferences and events such as team holiday dinners that would have minimal impact on the company's bottom line. -Pay not aligned with skills or talent marketplace -One would think a benefits/career consultant would have decent pay and benefits. This is not the case
