Pros

Used to be a great company to work for.

Cons

I feel compelled to share my experience regarding the significant changes in this organization's Human Resources department. Since the departure of former CHRO Susan Schmitt, there has been a notable decline in HR effectiveness. The current reporting structure, where HR falls under Legal oversight and features an unusual arrangement of a CHRO reporting to another CHRO, has created several operational challenges. Throughout 2024, the department has experienced considerable turnover, with many experienced HR professionals departing. While the company's current 3.7 rating may appear favorable, it's worth noting that this score largely reflects historical reviews rather than recent experiences. For HR professionals considering career opportunities there, I recommend carefully evaluating these organizational dynamics before making any decisions.

Pros

Solid compensation: Good benefits, mid-range bonuses (when available), pension & mid-range RRSP matching. Decent vacation but it doesn't increase until you're there 15 or 20 years. Smart people: Working with long-standing teams of software developers and the controller engineers is great. Sophisticated and complex challenges regularly. Implementing AI: They're being very considered about how they implement it & doing it at a measured (not slow and not slam-it-in) pace.

Cons

Process: It's highly, highly process-driven. The layers can feel burdensome. Bottom line: They're chasing it with work being moved from North America and Europe to Asia and South America. There's definitely an old boys club and lots of references generalizating and comparing generations. Environmental policy contradictions: They say they want to be environmentally friendly, but have imposed RTO & are only hiring within commuting range of offices.
