Pros

Benefits and vacation are decent

Cons

- Disorganized. Management has no idea what you do, or don't do. - Internal surveys reveal very low employee morale. The best new employees leave within months. - There is little to no incentive to do more work than the person beside you. - Promotions are based on personal relationships, not talent. - Your job can be gone in an instant if the stock market turns - having tenure or good reviews makes no difference.

Pros

Solid compensation: Good benefits, mid-range bonuses (when available), pension & mid-range RRSP matching. Decent vacation but it doesn't increase until you're there 15 or 20 years. Smart people: Working with long-standing teams of software developers and the controller engineers is great. Sophisticated and complex challenges regularly. Implementing AI: They're being very considered about how they implement it & doing it at a measured (not slow and not slam-it-in) pace.

Cons

Process: It's highly, highly process-driven. The layers can feel burdensome. Bottom line: They're chasing it with work being moved from North America and Europe to Asia and South America. There's definitely an old boys club and lots of references generalizating and comparing generations. Environmental policy contradictions: They say they want to be environmentally friendly, but have imposed RTO & are only hiring within commuting range of offices.
