Pros
They offer good benefit and they have provided good working environment. If you stay there for more than a year, usually no one ask you to work hard. As long as you can pretend you have somethings to do no one care if you really work or not. You will have plenty of time to learn new technologies, but you must do it yourself and don't expect others teach you or ask you to work on those technologies. You have to do it yourself and better not to tell anyone.
Cons
If you are friend with your boss or managers, you are safe. If you are like normal employee, usually you will be laid off in the first lay offs. In the production line, the life time of a product is about 5 to 7 years and after that you have to be prepared for lay offs. Your knowledge is not important, the only important thing is being friend with bosses or managers or be in their teams. I didn't like the office politics in there. Some employees never work at all (even 1 hour a week) but they never laid off in past years. Payments are not high compare with other provinces, but SK is not an expensive province.
