Pros

People are truly passionate about what they do and are proud of working in an culture that breeds a sense of purpose and real contribution. Managers are always willing to provide insight and feedback, and the leadership and camaraderie found on certain teams is inspiring. People work hard and play hard, and get the job done. Great place to be.

Cons

Because it's a Canadian subsidiary, might have to keep on your toes while waiting on future direction from corp, which can delay projects, etc.

Pros

Passion for product, overall desire for collaboration and sincere interest in each other's success. No fear for challenging status quo and staying lenghty Friday nights to be the best. Overall, being surrounded by really smart people and having every day bring excitement and novelty.

Cons

The "calibrations" -- review -- process is taxing, and on many occasions, does not necessarily reward the best talent, but rather, those that made themselves more visibly present (read: less hidden behind their computer screens) and also, accomplishments close to the end of the fiscal year, rather than various feats throughout the year.
