Pros

Pretty relaxed atmosphere. Unlimited sick time, and nice cubicles. Pride of working for a major multinational corporation with a great reputation. Fairly relaxed atmosphere and no dress code. Business class air travel when on overseas business. Free cookies and treats at various places throughout the building. Free parking.

Cons

Operation is falling apart, the result of a lack of product development and declining sales. Limited training opportunities. Management won't match oil and gas salaries and professionals are leaving for oil and gas firms. Old technology and no clear plan to update the product line. No 'excitement' of working for a growing company, and hence, limited opportunities for advancement.

Pros

Opportunity to learn and grow in roles where other companies would want you to have years of experience. This comes at a price of devoting your life to the company and you are the only one that can control work-life balance.

Cons

Managing work and life. Expectations are that you will be available to work at any time, any place and do an excellent job.

Pros

Very flexible for family and work balance is good overall and co-workers are very supportive of each other. I think it is a great place to work if you have children as they are very compassionate about family situations and the benifits are very good also. I am sure not every department is the same but the department I was in really impressed me and although I have just moved away and had to end my employment I miss the job itself along with many of the very wonderful people who worked there. Great job to Jonathan May for being an excellent manager.

Cons

Not much recognition for jobs well done from the immediate supervisor. That would be my only complaint really. Besides the fact that there is a lot of management employee relationships/ marriages that I think affect job performances sometimes. People who are not managers tend to think if they are dating one of the managers that gives them managerial rights and although this is not the case it is not handled very well by management and not stopped. A shame because this could be a perfect place to work but this is a big problem and needs to be taken care of.
