Pros

good place to work for starters. have unique business lines. Its a family owned business, currently into its 5th generation.

Cons

I don't see any potential for growth. most of the work is done in Germany, so Canadian teams have to depend mostly on German teams for decision making.

Pros

- excellent (still) reputation - good work/life balance - working on the leading edge of technology innovation (but see also contras)

Cons

- has an attitude to stick to the old and traditional (thus rendering most innovations useless) - sales has a box mover mentality, which might be great for commodity markets, but this is where G&D will fail with new technologies, solutions and services - has killed all major acquisitions and technology start-ups it had invested in during the recent years - appoints management based on personal relationship and chemistry rather than competence - with the above, burnt so much money, that the future and independence of the company is at stake

Pros

Short commute, free parking, clean bathrooms

Cons

Employees were miserable, unmotivated and I witnessed several resignations. Blue collar mentality - unprofessional management -- swearing and bullying employees are regular occurrences Not a team environment - Sink or swim Bonuses are low for industry standards
