Pros

Team was mostly computer scientists and computer engineers The manager was smart and technically capable Office are was nice, lots of parking Occasional team dinners and BBQ's were much appreciated

Cons

Worked at satellite location, not head office - easy to get ignored. Mostly SW maintenance work, fun tasks only given to 2 senior people. Site was industrial - safety meetings and occasional smell of diesel Company makes hardware, software is not a central focus Oil prices have tanked, so work environment may have degraded since

Pros

Freedom to explore different approaches to achieve objectives, but this is largely due to ineffective management

Cons

Management is ineffective and focuses on the wrong things. There is no room for promotion or progression and no training. Wages are well below industry standard and you must fight to get even a cost of living increase. The management seem to think that that the technicians and engineers are plebs, and that they can just haul anyone off the street to do the job. Deficiencies in management are evident from the lowest to the highest levels.
