Pros

A leader. Great tech and services. Hell-bent on crushing competition. Decent work environment.

Cons

North American executive leadership will not allow employees to work from home. The company line is that employees need to "be in the office" to share, work as a team, and feed off of each other. That would be all well and good, but does that make a bit of sense if none of your team members are even in the same geographic area?? Even when they are, they call in to meetings rather than attend in person. The environment went from a few employees in an open environment with large desks and assigned storage to smaller desks and nearly double the employees in an area. Even directors are sitting on aisles! Yearly culling of employees leads to poor morale. Everyone knows that unless they are moving up, then the day will come where they will be moved out, regardless of contribution. No loyalty to employees. Poor work-life balance. HR serves the company, rarely the employee. They are also untouchable.

Pros

-Technological superior to most other companies with use of AI and promising future tech/programs -benefits and pay are very competetive -room for professional growth and advancement if you know how to work in a corporate environment -resume development and professional advancement

Cons

-leadership ideology doesnt match the company/CEOs mission statement or belief (company is said to be all for safety yet leaders get put in charge and quickly dismantle and lay off 3 quarters of the safety department) -Leadership changes structure to benefit themselves by having all support functions report to them instead of the CEO, this ensures all support functions take a back seat to production and financial gain to include their employees well being -Company restructured and reorganizes very often while showing no loyalty to the employees who work hard and want to stay, this leads to turn over of great employees.
