Talented workforce Culture encourages helping one another and a team first attitude Great work life balance Great Career development opportunities Engineering data driven company

Cons

Extremely slow to make decisions So many processes and assurance reviews that everything moves slow People sometimes get so caught up in the processes and box checking that they forfeit common sense and practical problem solving skills Lacks any kind of entrepreneurial spirit Endless meetings with everyone voicing their opinions and group hugging while no decision gets made

Pros

Working with an amazing team who cares about your work-life balance and gives flexibility if emergencies arise. The pay is also very good.

Cons

The commute to the office is very difficult and having to come into work 4 days a week. Also, you have to pay for parking and there are no vouchers. They also have layoffs and downsizing on a regular basis so it is very nerve wrecking.
