Pros

You can learn a lot in a very short while. People here also work very hard. A lot of opportunities to step up and show your abilities.

Cons

Lack of team spirit. People don't seem to genuinely care very much about you beyond your work.

Pros

Company culture of team work is fantastic. System oriented processes allows for steady business while allowing experimentation on pushing the boundaries.

Decision making by consensus sometimes means some opportunities are missed. Takes some time to learn the systems to become truly effective.

Pros

They have great cafeteria in their facility. The people are very friendly and helpful. The area is a nice place to live in. They have a very nice work/life balance and have health days throughout the year. Also, have a store on site where you can buy discounted CP products

Cons

I do not have any complaints about working there. Absolute great place to work and live. Saw a couple turkeys in the parking lot once though, kinda concerning.
