Pros

Great work environment Great management Reasonable benefits You get a parking space in downtown Toronto You get unlimited food at the cafe inside

Cons

Strict hours Better benefits have been offered by other companies Salary was unreasonable for the amount of work expected You are expected to work in a tiny cubicle, lack of promotions throughout the company.

Pros

Super smart people, lots of free stuff. Amazing to work at Google, just to realize it's not all that.

Cons

Workaholics, intense competition, constant game of thrones! Contractors are sort of a sub-class, make less money, have limited access to meetings, projects and facilities (for the same position).

Pros

Decent pay, and the facilities are great as expected. If there's one thing that I find that's good about this place it's the actual place. Other than that, nothing really.

Cons

Despite what's official, the work expected of you and thus the hours that go into the job are ridiculous and not one that you can expect any sane company to expect.
