Pros

Capable Canadian management, Great team environment, little to no politics, interesting and varied work from multiple clients in various industries, Good RRSP matching.

Cons

Lots of useless meetings and corporate fluff, parking at SD1 Calgary is limited during boom times, intranet and internet is 19th century speeds. Benefits provider is Sunlife and their plans are confusing and generally pretty awful compared to others. No work culture outside of the family friendly picnic style events they hold. US management and offices are out of touch with modern tech-forward business. EVERYTHING is workshare, and the amount is increasing constantly. We will see how that faires with the recently heralded lump sum work.

Pros

Hi visibility projects. Rewarding experiences Competitive Pay

Cons

Sub-bar Project Management team. Condescending at times. Entitled. Sense of superiority. Confusing Hierarchical Structure and chain of reporting. Two managers. Administrative Organizational Unit Manager and a project manager. You report to both. Not flexible at the implementation of latest and most robust design software. Extremely cautious about the implementation of AI, sacrificing productivity and cutting edge competitiveness. Extreme focus on employees training on the companies policies and procedures, but not on the technical development of employees. Do not internally promote, rather they hire from outside for vacant higher positions. Remote workers are considered second class citizens. Not equal to those who work from the office, despite their credentials and pedigrees.
