Pros

Flexible work life/balance Good pension Good training opportunities if you join as a field engineer safe company, unlikely to ever get fired

Cons

pay is not competitive rampant favouritism is apparent in many departments. Many jobs are not even advertised and given to preferred candidates without any due process. Obscene levels of hierarchy with most managers up to SVP level having no authority or ability to institute change Company is going through an identity crisis and has made everything, Agile. Senior leadership are scared to rock the boat and follow whatever management consultants tell them. Diversity and inclusion initiative seems to have no goals or meaningful outcomes. Appears to be for show so that execs can say they have this box ticked. Almost no job progression unless you are prepared to relocate consistently. Otherwise progression is dependent on others finally retiring

Pros

* Great business model at the foundation * Solid compensation program: Base salary + bonus * Sustained high profitability over the long term * Stable employement * Pension Plan

Cons

* Extremely hierarchical and regimented * Promotions based on favortism rather than true merit. Employees are precategorized and stigmatized on their ability for future career progression. * Extremely focused on metrics and internal objectives. This leads to box checking, cutting corners and bending rules to meet the numbers. * Extremely heavy workload. No work-life balance. * Management doesn't really incorporate employee feedback; they pretend to to check a box. * Quality of job suffers to keep up with quantity. Everything is becoming data driven and the data is often wrong. Enormous pressure to hit a button and accept at face value whatever the system spews out. * Our CEO builds fancy gold plated office buildings that aren't needed and pulled the plug on hybrid work to justify the investment in the real estate.
