Pros

This is heavily team dependent, having a good manager can make a huge difference. That being said, I have a great team, meaning I have great work/life balance. The manager is also responsive to my needs (e.g. me wanting to work on bigger projects, the manager tries to accommodate me). The facility in waterdown is great. Very clean and spacious. Cafe is great.

Cons

The company is lagging behind in compensation for its employees. They took away bonuses (from what i heard, many years before me) and have not put it back in place even though there have been requests for it. Compensation is a huge factor they have not addressed and the company is losing talented people cause of it.

Pros

Missions are impactful to the world Top talent in specialized fields Wonderful people Respectful environment

Cons

Processes and policies are not robust enough to support the large growth / merger, which leaves everyone operating in silos and interpreting things in their own ways Shared service model is not structured properly Not enough critical thinking around how budgets should be allocated for tools, capital, and salaries Higher level leaders are too in the weeds and not working on the harder strategic aspects Businesses are not aligned with common products to gain best synergies as all businesses fight to defend $s not what actually makes sense for the company (radios sharing same suppliers are in completely different segments; CCAs are built across 10+ different factories managed by different management teams instead of a couple of large COEs) All leaders felt unempowered due to lack of ownership of budgets. Budgets were set but then adjusted at further levels without any additional discussion of new targets and how to achieve. Then budgets would be reallocated a few months into year if you weren't demonstrating that you truly need it. This drove teams to spend heavy up front and not make the smartest decisions at times
