Pros

Great at balancing work with family life. Vacation time can be taken by the hour or by the day, starting at 3 weeks and gradually increasing to 4 weeks between 5-10 yrs. 1 week off at Christmas and every other Friday off. 37.5 hour work week.

Cons

Depending on the manager, very difficult to get promoted. Company was very focused on the Ottawa location and Calgary employees tended to have to adapt to fit in with the way Ottawa wanted things done, regardless of whether it was feasible for Calgary.

Pros

Good work life balance Projects matter for our war fighters Most co-workers are competent and dedicated More work than people, and moving to other engineering jobs is possible

Cons

Some numbskulls seem to get into senior positions. A "Consolidation" of buildings is underfunded, poorly planned, and drives chaos. The push to squeeze every nickel of efficiency means that there isn't always money for equipment or team building events (below the VP level).
