Good Canadian employer in transition

Pros

The company has a great reputation in Montreal and Quebec generally (eg as a supporter of Bixi bikes, the Jazz Festival etc). It has a worldwide presence so employees have the chance to travel and work abroad. Salaries are good though this may change with the new ownership.

Cons

The company is no longer independent since being taken over by Rio Tinto in 2007. Some senior positions no longer exist and an employee wanting to make it to the top will have to leave Canada at some point in their career.
