A company focused on the future

Pros

Transparency, confidence and clarity in the business strategy. Committment to technology, resource conservation and being active with SMART city initiatives.

Cons

Lots of change, while aligned with the business priorities - if you like to be a part of the design and problem solving, this is a great place for you - if you want it all laid out for you, in might not be.

Great Work/Life Balance and Culture

Pros

Competitive pay and comprehensive benefits, including tuition reimbursement and a new fitness reimbursement program. The company is very supportive in regards to development opportunities, whether it be classes, seminars, or degree programs. The work-life balance provided in my position is phenomenal. My team is readily available to take over when one of us is out sick or on vacation. Upper-management is very approachable and visible. Previous reviews indicate that the CEO is very outspoken (1000% true), but I would much rather have a bold personality than someone stuffy and unapproachable. Management often takes time to be active in the community, speaking and being at many school and career events.

Cons

Like most mid-sized companies, growth/advancement opportunities are lacking, purely due to the size of the company. There are advancement opportunities in some areas, but a promotion may not happen as quickly as some would like. They do a good job of communicating this to you before you start, so you have a realistic outlook of your career with the company. On the same note, entry level positions are rare, so most interns find positions outside of the company after graduation.
