Pros

clean environment; parking garage; great food service and on site health club; interesting work; good technology; freedom of movement during working hours; (depends on manager).

Cons

inexperienced middle management; rigid written policies which are not applied equally; interpretation of benefits and polices left to discretion if each manager which may cause unequal treatment and perk distribution; women are second class; staff is undervalued; benefits are used to leverage employment but are not always available when needed, again another "at the discretion of management " process. Executives have many perks as well as high salaries; staff has little perks and salaries on the low end. Many relatives work together so there is an unspoken sense of entitlement; if you are "liked" you are in like flynn, meaning have all the ammenities available to you regardless of qualifications; if you are disliked, consider yourself micromanaged; and will have no job growth whatsoever, even if you have exemplary skills and will eventually be pushed out due to bland treatment by manager. Comments are from an observation viewpoint.

Pros

Great stable company to work for. Training is second to none. Competitive overall compensation package. Great location if you live north of the city. Lots of opportunity to move within the organization.

Cons

Not downtown where most of our clients and competition are located. Base salary is less than competition.

Pros

-solid, industry-leading company, high job security -company invests a lot in specific trainings -highly flexible schedule (when not at client sites) -independent type of job (100% remote if not in a city with company office) -private pension contribution -company car also for unlimited private use, for a small monthly fee (unfortunately comes with the biggest con)

Cons

-minimum 50% overnight travel, for visiting customer sites (good hotels though, and very rare on short notice) -very niche market, engineering experience gained only useful in this industry -few and rare "vertical" career advance opportunities (especially for remote engineers) -low to average pay for the level of traveling and difficulty of the job -as in every big corporation, changes happen very slow
