Pros

Positive work environment. Decent bonuses. Work and family balance is somewhat encouraged. Nice progressist values (environment, health, etc.) Great involvment in community. Lots of activities offered. Work can be challenging and innovative at times.

Cons

The company grew too fast which led to growing pains. Employees are not trained properly and can find themselves not knowing how things work. Documentation is sparse if at all existing and processes are changing all to time. The company has a hard time focusing on a single priority, and priorities are constantly changing (even in the course of a single day!). Lots of time wasted in task switching. Communication between departments is lacking. Nobody in the middle management seems to be willing to make tough decisions.

Pros

There is great sense of Teamwork with the Technical teams on the Production Floor. People will share their knowledge and help others without hesitation.

Cons

Most Of The local management have little to no idea of what exactly is built and shipped to customers.The majority of Team leads who think their Managers have zero experience in people management .They have an update meeting in the morning and then sit at their desks for the remainder of the day.If their is a quality issue the immediately look for a head to blame even though it's also their responsibility to ensure a quality project is built. The so called leaders would never support their immediate reports and are more focussed on how they are perceived by the bosses in Canada..HR don't want to know or hear from you once they have convinced you to join the company.
