Stable, but stagnant. Weak middle-level management.

Pros

Stability is the greatest strength of the company Nice work environment in terms of peers and relationship between peers Allows for a work-life balance Good higher-level management Learning opportunities

Cons

Very(!) poor performance evaluations system - yearly review results strongly depend on your relationship with your direct manager and seniority (and not actual performance, input, job excellence, types of tasks and job done). (=>) Limited opportunities for growth. A big part of this is due to weak middle-level management, seeking for "yes-people" (vs innovators), using old-style bureaucratic means (vs motivation tools). To sum up: If you are seeking for a stable environment, where you will have time to learn and grow, without expecting much from it - it's an OK place for you. If you have many years' experience and are a highly competitive, innovative high-performer - your enthusiasm might be unappreciated and destroyed- find a better place.

Pros

Work is challenging and interesting, and it's not too heavy, you can make a good balance between work and life.

Cons

No too much training, just something like introducing your periodic work to other engineers. Salary is not so competitive.

Pros

Good benefits Staff is mostly friendly No micromanagement Work from home is not encourage, but permitted (privileges depend on whether you are in good books of the VP)

Cons

Left the company as the work is boring and there is no growth or appreciation for the CAE work in IG CAE org. Sucking up helps in this company Poor bonuses and salary increments compared to the industry standard
