Pros

Job stability. As long as you play the corporate game where you show up to the countless Webex meetings and don't challenge anyone, you're golden. DQ is thriving there.

Cons

Management turned one of the greatest company to work for in Montreal into an absolute corporate nightmare where passion and dreams go to die. The whole team who built a world-class platform is now gone despite how much they liked working together. Literally everyone left with roughly 2x their Samsung salary and management did nothing about it. Great engineers have had promotions denied simply for properly criticizing some terrible process in a public slack channel. There is so much middle management that they don't know what to do of their time so they end up counting your hours. Technical debt is not something you can work on anymore. The agile transition has been a nightmare and the process is highly inflexible. I could go on and on for much longer but enough for today. Avoid at all cost.

Pros

Great products. Everyone gets to travel at least once per year.

Cons

Low pay compared to top US electronics companies. Strong culture of favoritism — managers rarely promote on merit and frequently move the goalposts for employees outside their inner circle. Colleagues and managers regularly take credit for others' work. I personally witnessed and experienced what I believe to be gender and race-based inequities in how employees are treated and evaluated. HR was unresponsive when issues were raised.
