Used to be a great place to work.

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Pension plan, RRSP, Employee Stock Purchase Plan, On site daycare & cafetria

Cons

Losing market share, layoffs, eroding compensation (used to be 37.5 hrs/wk, now 40; used to pay overtime, no longer the case; can be scheduled any day of the week including weekends without any compensation). Consistently asked to do more with less, but eventually you're left with nothing. Demoralized staff. Little room for growth, managers in place who shouldn't be, their soft skills are long gone, decisions based on emotion and butt-covering rather than logic and the good of the company.

Tons of meetings, zero productivity. Management pretending availability 24*7. Really slow to do code changes. Blaming culture between teams. The lists goes on and on. Fellow developers, if you want to have a good professional career, you care about your health then AVOID THIS PLACE at all costs.
