Salaries are in line with industry standards, and benefits are good, though somewhat more expensive than plans at comparable employers.

Cons

non communicative management - they go through the motions, but not for important issues, such as outsourcing (200 people were outsourced to CGI, on the ides of March no less, and there are still no official announcements). Poor work/life balance, Rigid and unrealistic appraisal system.
