Pros

- Good work life balance - Competitive compensation and benefits - Choice of Mac/Windows - Choice of company paid Iphone/Android - Excellent health insurance and RRSP

Cons

- Non technical managers. - Lots of pointless meetings. - Lots of dependencies on US Head Office Richmond. - Highly Political Environment. - Brutal Performance Management. Being Agile is just a slogan to recruit good people here, lots of paperwork, lots of restrictions. Management doesn't really understand software development. Lot of mismanagement in allocation of resources. You can survive here if you are not too ambitious about your career. Otherwise this place might hurt your software career in long run. Politics here are very ugly. Something you need to consider carefully before joining.

Pros

5 stars for the company itself as far as level of technology and the services available to employees which is quite impressive for a company of this size. You will have your hands in all sorts of technologies right from the start. Benefits are great...pay is ok

Cons

Reviews are brutal in that they pit employees of like title against each other with only your manager to fight for you. It is tough to get very far if you are in shared technology services unless you have been there a long time or are Indian. Not enough time to learn technologies properly....more interested in being first to launch.
