Pros

You learn a lot about the Supply Chain Industry.

Cons

They love to gatekeep information and love to say it is complex instead of actually explaining. I had coworkers who would cry if they are held accountable. Very discriminatory environment and worst work ethic I have ever seen.

Pros

Lots of solutions to offer clients. Some great and smart people working there.

Cons

Big egos and they over promise the resources you will have to do your job. Their solution is a hundred different solutions all cobbled together.

Pros

Descartes is the parent company and all their acquisitions continue being "business as usual". Not a lot of unnecessary company wide meetings (which can almost always be addressed in an email).

Cons

Will probably take more than a year to receive that "2% yearly raise". No growth opportunity, they hire from outside a lot.
