Pros

The restaurant and the gym, the security people, IT guys and the receptionists are always nice, helpful and friendly. When I started and was on-boarded by a person who was on a years contract, and I had no idea I would be taking some of her jobs. Result was no knowledge sharing, no help and any emails I sent requesting help went unanswered. My job is quite deadlined so I relied on timely responses from others, but nearly every email or request for help fell into a dead hole. This is the culture there. No 'out of office', no idea where the person is you are trying to contact. Are they on holiday or just ignoring you? The answer can be found with a trip down to the 'Street' here people will spend all day having 'meetings' - conveniently near to the coffee bar. Does anyone ever work in his place? People: REPLY to emails!! RESPOND.

Pros

Work life balance is fairly good. However with structural changes not sure how it wikk pend out.

Cons

Terrible culture and environment. I would recommend whoever is planning to get a job there to stay away. Canadian Executives team is not well liked. This reflects on the company culture. A lot of infair decisions Many people are not engaged. Most leaving the company.
