Pros

Stable, No pressure, salary, Benefits, relatively brain dead, someone somewhere is working on the problem you're having and probably has solved it. Great 9-5 grab the paycheck get out. On site parking if you come in early enough. On site daycare if you manage to get in. On site cafeteria with very affordable prices.

Cons

Nothing happens, no sense of making an impact internally or externally, finding someone / something is a perpetual trial by combat they've probably cured cancer in a document/confluence page somewhere, security is a darn perpetual thorn like a broken rib, 10 yrs of continuous employment before increase of PTO which is rescinded should you leave and come back, locked up in you're little silo, are you even alive? Do you even exist? The 50% retirement matching requires contributions in an RRSP. In other words, should you're RRSP be full coming in matching is unavailable to you without significant fees. Also, for those starting their career this is sub optimal use of their RRSP. Currently 3d/week office first mindset, probably more in the future. Office is far from city center, car recommended, not very bike friendly industrial area. All vegetables from the cafeteria have been boiled into oblivion.

Pros

-Technological superior to most other companies with use of AI and promising future tech/programs -benefits and pay are very competetive -room for professional growth and advancement if you know how to work in a corporate environment -resume development and professional advancement

Cons

-leadership ideology doesnt match the company/CEOs mission statement or belief (company is said to be all for safety yet leaders get put in charge and quickly dismantle and lay off 3 quarters of the safety department) -Leadership changes structure to benefit themselves by having all support functions report to them instead of the CEO, this ensures all support functions take a back seat to production and financial gain to include their employees well being -Company restructured and reorganizes very often while showing no loyalty to the employees who work hard and want to stay, this leads to turn over of great employees.
