OK, but the work gets stale in a hurry

Pros

Competitive pay and benefits, relatively low stress for lower end employees. A fine place to work if you enjoy working on the same project or product indefinitely.

Cons

Top-down management style, extremely poor collaboration between departments and employees, and continuing education is completely neglected, something I find unacceptable in a technology company.

It's not what it used to be!

Pros

The colleagues are competent and hard-working! The company's upper-most leadership in Canada seem to really care about the employees. The benefits are good.

Cons

The local management is not attuned to the employees. Employees are not valued for their experience and are treated as indispensable.

Pros

- outstanding work/life balance to the point that it's easily feasible to take up a part-time job, attend grad classes, spend time with kids, etc. - easy to take off work when necessary - unlimited sick days - team comraderie - knowledgeable middle-management - marketable starting salary - relaxed and engaging employees

Cons

- terrible training (often you are thrown to the wolves in a rather antiquated or faulty subsytem and your deliverable is within the day, and the technical training they have doesn't apply to your client) - much desired Subject Matter Expert Framework - promotion determination is vague - learning levels off after around 5-7 months
