Business Outlook

Pros

Nice salary, Stock option if you stay for long time in Company. Job security and health benefits

Cons

you are slave to them for 8 hours. You have to beg to manager to catch your breath. Two TAC locations EAST (Ottawa) and West(Burnaby). Ottawa work load is 200% and Burnaby is 30-40% but Burnaby engineers gets high salary and less work load. Many senior Engineers already left because of Toxic environment.
