Good pay and benefits, but culture falls short - Computer Aided Drafter POWER Engineers Employee Review

Pros

Good pay, benefits, and flexible work schedule.

Cons

Like any bigger company, head office gets a lot of the promotions even if there are more qualified candidates. Comes down to who you know instead of good work ethic and past performance. Sad but happens at to many places, once you get into that upper management and 'untouchable' the work performance doesn't matter. Pass the information along to your manager and watch the bad performances get pay raises, hard to stay determined and care after watching this happen multiple times. A lot of not of my problem scenarios where the goal is to make $ while employee happiness is left at the wayside. Do OK work, get paid better, and repeat.

Pros

Was a genuinely great place to work. Great people and great culture. It was worth the slightly-lower-than-average pay because work life balance and benefits were great. I enjoyed going to work every day.

Cons

Poor financial decisions from upper management regarding the shareholder program led to the company's demise. Upper management sold out to WSP. Management made millions while long time employees got zilch. As someone else had mentioned, retention bonuses were unfairly distributed. Most people didn't get any retention bonus even if they had been long time employees of the company. It really felt like everyone who wasn't upper management got stabbed in the back. They got their payout then dumped the company. Still stings to this day.
