It's a job

Pros

Stable job situation and relatively high compensation relative to most other high tech companies in Canada. Great work/life balance. If you are looking for job security, stability, and a place with no thrillling rides to retire with, this is it.

Cons

No growth opportunity and not much to learn. Too much of the work can be done by intern and junior engineers. If you are looking to learn new things and grow your career, look elsewhere.

Pros

- Stable Job environment - Work is not hard - You get to work with the late version of tools from Synopsys, which is pretty much the standard of the ASIC industry

Cons

- Management in Canada office don't know how to motivate employees. - need better and more reasonable arrangements with remote employees. - The hierarchy, beyond management vs individual contributor, is flat. There is no distinguishing between senior level engineers and new grads. - Outlook of business units in the GTA is rather low. They are losing customers.
