Business outlook
Pros
The camaraderie was great. People seemed truly excited and proud to work for the largest software company in Canada. The environment was progressive and it was a great place to go to work. Many of the "Cognoids" were very competent and knowledge sharing was a great way to gain professional knowledge in the field. Morale was generally good.
Cons
The selling of the company to IBM. As stated before, morale was generally good until the announcement of the IBM purchase. Many competent staff exited in the following months, including my myself. From my understanding this continues, with many feeling "trapped" due to the current economy.
