Lots of meetings.
Pros: The Markham Software Lab is very big. This means that there are many people there that you can go to for questions or support.
Cafeteria is fairly decent but the food does tend to get repetitive after 3 months of eating eat.
Fairly generous about work hours. As long as you are there for you meetings or available on the phone/online, then you can leave the office if something comes up.
Lots of rooms to switch jobs within the company if you're not happy with your current one.
Cons: Lots of corporate red tape. While I worked there, they were doing come major cuts and so it was hard to obtain anything (eg software licences) unless you filed some forms and proved that you needed it for your job.
Hard to get around unless you have a car. Traffic is really bad during rush hour.
Too many useless meetings (but this really depends on the team you're on).
