Pros

Students are nice and supprotive.

Cons

I have an engineering degree but I was assigned a role in an unrelated field. I completed my sceta co-ops in this unrelated role and when I asked at the end of the program if I could switch to an engineering role I was told “no.”. The sceta contract that I signed as a student locked me in for four years with siemens. I have to stay with the company or I will be fined $40,000. I feel a lot of resentment towards the company and the position. I wish that I never joined in the first place.

Pros

Great company and coworkers. People are very nice and friendly and the CEC is a nice place to work and the role has flexible hours.

Cons

There is a lot of work to be done so there's a lot of stress that comes with the role. There are times where you will have to work over 40 hours a week. Seems like work-life balance is not prioritized.
