Pros

People are great, very knowledgable and willing to help get the job done. The customer experience team has really transformed how we work with customers which has been really great to see.

Cons

Some employees are remote but there is no rhyme or reason why. Sales leadership leads through fear and anger which makes for a toxic department and really unhappy employees on the front line. No onboarding at all, you show up on your first day and are just expected to know it all, especially if you are working in an office that isn't in Waterloo.

Pros

- Stable employment - Near zero "crunching" or required overtime - Relatively cool domain (commercial aviation) - Some nice benefits like "learning grants" - Nice office space - Geese nesting in overhang visible through windows: cute - Geese guarding entrances provide practical experience in self-defense

Cons

- Meetings and bureaucracy consume increasingly larger parts of work-day - Lots of old technology and little chance for ownership - Dead sea effect in engineering - Sketchy decisions by leadership - "Code Monkey" approach to software development - All decisions and designs made without feedback from implementation team. - Strict adherence to sprint plan with no room for deviation - Everything must be pre-approved, scheduled, and justified to someone with absolutely no idea of what you're talking about. - KPIs more important than real progress - Developers treated like identical, interchangeable machines that can work on and modify any part of a project at any time. - All of the above means you'll never know how anything works, neither will anyone else, and your progress as an engineer will stagnate.
