Pros

After moving on from entry level engineering position, the pay is very very competitive. There is also a large opportunity to learn beyond your specific engineering focus which is great for a career. For example, even if you're electrical, you might be expected to learn mechanical systems which is great for development. There is also a lot of opportunities for growth if you put a lot of work in and make your goals clear.

Cons

While the pay can be good, the leadership in the company seems to struggle with decision making. Specific site leadership is the same, and is constantly using general company "propaganda" terms and goals and then making decisions that contradict those. Engineers are also used as an "unlimited resource" due to no work hour rules and salary pay. Which means they will put as much work on you as they can, and expect long work hours. All in all, this is a good place to start your career as a new engineer, you'll learn how to work hard and it looks good on a resume, but with sacrifices in other areas (like personal life).

Pros

Compared to other companies… Exec leadership is good at change management communications. They make it obvious what they’re planning to do next as external pressures increase. Everyone has access to copilot There are a ton of benefits (but they’re confusing and disorganized). Parking rebate, education reimbursement program,

Cons

The worst tech organization I’ve ever worked with. Technology is extremely outdated and the people aren’t helpful. They’ll close your ticket without ever contacting you and you’re left spending hours going in circles. This makes their onboarding VERY difficult for new employees who can’t find anything. Customer service roles are very very unhelpful. For example- credit card group sent the job aid in response to a question, I shared with them the exact areas where the job aid links were broken and incomplete and got no response. Compensation was lower than the market by a significant margin.

Thank you for your positive comments regarding communication, AI access, and benefits. We recognize that reliable technology and responsive tech support are both critical to a positive employee experience —especially during onboarding. It’s concerning to hear that you encountered difficulty getting assistance and unresolved tickets. That’s not the experience we aim to provide, and your feedback highlights areas where we clearly need to improve.
