Pros

Environment conducive to personal development: leadership available to guide you in the right direction, but will encourage you to find the "right path" on your own. Friendly office with an extended family vibe. Good location in up-and-coming neighborhood.

Cons

Although it is open floor plan, we are learning ways to respect the noise levels boundaries. Steep learning curve due to the complexity of the field we work in.

Pros

- Medical device industry exposure. - Good QMS, well-suited to medical device design and devlopment projects. - Some people with great engineering skills and good mentoring values.

Cons

- Blatant favouritism. Select few people get peomoted just because they chat and laugh with management. Merit and skills has no value. - Incompetent HR. They have no idea what they're doing. - Extreme lack of pay transparency. There is no defined pay scales. They'll use whatever excuse they can to not pay you a bonus. - Lack of career growth and no definitions for comptencies required at various levels. People get assigned random job titles. - Lot of sexist and racist jokes from the management. - Awful smelling corridors and dirty toilets. - Toxic work curture, where you are over-worked and underpaid and they want it to be the norm. This used to be an excellent workplace but has been going downhill since 2023. It is currently in an abysmal state and lot of engineers have recently quit. Notice the stark difference in old vs newer ratings.

Pros

- Some talented employees who genuinely try to make a difference. - Exposure to medical device industry standards.

Cons

- Promotions and recognition depend more on language, gender, or personal connections than performance. - Discriminatory and inappropriate jokes at leadership level, including remarks about gender and race. - Micromanagement is the norm, which kills creativity, motivation, and professional growth. - Employees with MSc/PhDs are undervalued and treated as executors rather than experts and are treated poorly - No clear career path, no work-life balance, and little to no training or professional development - Run like a family business where critical leadership positions are held by people with no relevant background (e.g. no education, experince in totally different fields) yet they sign off on highly regulated Class III medical device documents
