Pros

Great people to work with. Good benefits and competitive pay. Good place for young engineers to start.

Cons

Recent layoffs mostly impacted high level technical employees, leaving too much management and too many inexperienced engineers to run the show. Future roadmap is a lot of words but implementation is not so clear since leadership is absent despite the plethora of VPs and Directors. If you are not ex-Chartered or ex-IBM, forget about advancement. Inconsistent expectations - some are expected to put in 12 hrs/day while others come in at 9:30, leave at 5:00 and take an hour for lunch.

Pros

Very supportive team and management to work with from the beginning. Many training classes need to be taken in moving forward to align with the company policies and technical procedures. Good benefits and competitive salary. Have a very positive plan for long term career and educational support tuition. The interview and hiring process are long but informative and responded promptly.

Cons

There are many training classes to take so it may put more stress on a new hire if you do not have a good plan.

Pros

Everyone is willing to help and the training is actually good training

Cons

If I didn’t know someone that worked since I was going to overnights I didn’t really meet anyone on my team except my manager once. Also I wouldn’t know who to reach out like manger wise if I didn’t know someone who already worked here
