Pros

Good work/life balance. Good leadership training opportunities

Cons

Company is being run like a private equity firm bought it. Software division has reduced focus on quality and bringing new innovations to market. Senior management more focused on offshoring jobs and replacing people with AI. Business and sales goals are often missed and senior leaders don’t take accountability and lean on layoffs and offshoring as a crutch. No incentive for employees who bring efficiency gain ideas to management. But everyone is expected to do so. Culture is becoming toxic.

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.
