Pros

Clean facilities. Great company name on your resume profile. Good benefits. Generous amount of holidays that stacks up with 9/80 schedule. VERY flexible work hours thanks to their leave system.

Cons

Company is notorious for low-balling employees. How internal bid process to other position within company works is ridiculous. Management is extremely poor. Your hard work goes unnoticed. Almost NO chance to advancement or cross training to expand your resume and skills. My co-workers here are doing everything they can to leave the company, because they cannot bear to work there any longer. Talks of outsourcing is always present, resulting in extremely low morale and outlook among employees.

Pros

Good working environment Exciting projects Great coworkers (for the most part, like any place)

Cons

Like any maturing company, it has become more and more top-heavy, placing more and more emphasis on project management and milestones, sometimes over bread-and-butter engineering. I could have half the PMs I have now and do a better job
