Pros

Fantastic co-workers, challenging work, decent pay and benefits. Reasonable work hours and flexibility.

Cons

Demoralising workspaces, agressive workload and heavy handed management. Canada is a subsidiary to the US head office, and policy is made in Germany/ the US with no regard to the Canadian marketplace or difffering staffing levels.

Pros

Good working environment and team. Interesting projects and very innovative products. Company with good ethical values ​​and vision, reliable and secure.

Cons

Very hierarchical structure and political leads to very slow and centralized decisions. You lose a lot of time in meetings and processes and there is little incentive to new ideas (excessive bureaucracy). Lack of decisiveness and flexibility to local teams and heavy dependence on central structure. Career management and training nonexistent, professional recognition informal and not consistent.
