Pros

Strong executive leadership An outstanding culture that inculcates inclusion Provides that small company feel despite being a large, successful company Treats employees like professionals Respects/encourages work-life balance

Cons

Unfortunately the changing culture that makes Shaw great can be slow to reach individual departments. While my overall experience has been great, the first few years were a struggle, due to a restrictive environment rampant with micromanaging. This, from my experience, isn't the norm, but rather is a sporadic occurrence existing in only certain departments.

Pros

Most people appear to genuinely care about you and your experience. Great support from upper management at my facility. Never a shortage of value added work to be done! Shaw has many different processes and gives many of their engineers a chance to at least see how they all fit together.. This gives less of a "cog in the machine" feeling.

Cons

Many facilities are 24/7 so this can require you to be on call. Snap decisions and turn around can also create for a hectic lifestyle. Occasionally getting drawn into office politics. "Littlest" big company you will ever work for, word can travel.
