Pros

Good training program, great team support, fun job

Cons

Company has fallen behind technologically and has made some poor investments in the last decade. Too much red tape, most of management focuses on creating new buzzwords and cookie-cutter sales playbooks instead of understanding what they're selling. Pay is below market. Everything that was awesome about the job got clawed back. It does not boast the safety of a stable job nor does it place its employees on the forefront of technology in industrial automation. Not too many career paths unless you want to move to cleveland or milwaukee for some obscure "channel" job or to be an underpaid engineer working on a product that's three years behind.

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.
