      Pros

      Great benefits, many opportunities for growth and show your potential. Challenging and rewarding work. For the most part, management actually care about employees having a good work-life balance, but that depends on the specific area/group/manager. Diversity focused company - they make sure everybody's concerns are heard, which may lead to delays in making decisions.

      Cons

      The oil crisis has made an impact on the company. Multiple lay-offs which has caused uncertainty about job security among employees. Job opportunities are scarce at the moment. Pressure to deliver more work with less people and less money has created a lot of stress.

      Pros

      Salaries and Benefits above market A lot of resources, in general, nice people.

      Cons

      Senior Leaders look mainly for young people, once you get to 40, consider looking for another opportunity because the will not longer pay attention to you and may get rid of you very fast, even if you are a good performer....you make too much $$. It is a cut throat environment...but you can make good money, if that is what you care. They reorganize every 2 years and post your job under you....(no worries) they will pay you to stay quiet. Integrity is not their Forte. They don't really value diversity...they may talk about a lot but...just be careful.
