Pros

cant think of any. Boss doesn't yell at me?

Cons

Where to even begin. This use to be an ok company. In the last year they have done “unlimited vacation”, ie none, back to office 3 days a week. Massive layoffs. Fired the cfo. All the while micromanaging everyone around them.

Silent Layoffs

Pros

The benefits are somewhat good

Cons

There are silent layoffs happening. There’s also nothing like job security. It’s truly an old boys club.

Pros

Solutions are amazing and they provide the customer with great tools. If you are in engineering you can do a 50% job and survive for a career. easily.

Cons

Defense only - cant speak for civil or healthcare. Pay is below industry average and low for the volume of work. As a manager, you are not renumerated for overtime "we just charge 40hrs regardless of what you actually work. Its just the culture" you will find out on day 1. The good engineering and PM staff are overworked and give up when overloaded. The poor quality staff never work in the first place so its an swamp of mediocrity. Fine if you want an easy life or pad your CV for a couple of years. If you don't live in QC and speak French you're a second class citizen. They produce pilot training devices and don't value pilots in management or senior positions- odd HR are very very poor. As an employee you are pond scum to them.
