Pros

Global firm so looks good on the CV Great location Staff are nice

Cons

New management for Business Development are in way over their heads. Processes in each department are constantly being reinvented. They say they are polycentric but all of Canadians decisions are made out of Toronto. People get in and quickly realize they need to get out.
