Pros

The Outlook and transformation of the company to software based products is innovative and the right direction for investors and company survivability.

Cons

Diversity of thinking in IT management is discouraged. C-Suite leader style is bully focused. The senior leadership team for IT has no time to develop anyone that may have a different view. Asking questions to gain alignment is seen as a threat. You are dismissed and sidelined if you don't fall in-line. They bait hire for one position "re-orgs" and "realignments" to another after being there only for a short amount of time; can't say "no" for fear of losing your job and being seen as a non-team player. Turnover of IT senior leadership is greater than 50% as the CIO demmands conformity or else. Management is often tyrannical.

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.
