Pros

Good perks like RRSP, insurance

Cons

It used to be an amazing company when it was Adgear… but it changed a LOT. - The new HR team is just really really bad: they don’t know the laws, they are heartless, they do nothing to help you when you need help. They refuse to let you work abroad even for a day if you are not Canadian…whereas there is absolutely no official law about working abroad. They are useless during a conflict between employees, they focus only on the company reputation - that’s all. Furthermore, they don’t want to provide a work visa even if you have your CSQ while you are waiting for your PR (how crazy is that?) - since the merger and the new structure, the management became toxic. The jobs are not interesting anymore - no more challenges, your entire day is dedicated to resolve issues between coworkers. Just don’t work for this company if you don’t want to be disappointed - I loved it for a couple years, but since the reorg, my last year was a nightmare.

Excellent management. Smart people. I feel safe there. They take reports seriously and thoroughly investigate wrongdoing and take action to protect employees.

None. It’s the perfect employer.

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.
