Pros

Ample amount of leaves. Software Releases can be delayed for months.

Cons

1. All the managers are totally non-technical. For them writing software or solving software issues is the task of a kid studying in nursery. That why they don't respect software developers or their past experience and treat them as their servant. 2. You will feel like riding a roller coaster because you will be shifted quickly from one project to another without your concerns or knowledge or your past experiences just fill the gap created by these so called managers to save their faces. 3. Mostly, you will be working on the technologies and code bases that are around 20 to 25 Years old and doesn't have any market value in the present. All the tools being used here are not standardized and have limited scope outside Bombardier. 4. Infrastructure is a joke here. From parking to lift to wash rooms to canteen to lab, all are just a check list to show that these things exist in this office. 5. HR is always busy over phone for his personal work and doesn't have time for any of the concerns of the employees. HR is so busy that he ignores having exit interviews of the employees to get their feedback.

Pros

Good benefits, healthy corporate culture and good work life balance.

Cons

Large corporation with decisions taken centrally makes it difficult for employees in satellite to feel supported sometimes. Career opportunities may be limited in the satellites particularly for non French speaking employees.

Pros

Lets start with what they do well... You get to work on some amazing aircraft. Which is valuable for a resume. The work environment is more controlled than airlines. The pace is VERY structured. (if thats something you prefer) Benefits are overall good, 401k options are great.

Cons

There is a clear favoritism issue going on. Advancement, opportunities, and even being chosen for training is definitely not performance based... Its more about who you know.. If you aren't part of the in crowd you will DEFINITLY get overlooked. Some techs come in and get immediately sent to training or placed in a lead role and others wait patiently for years and never get an opportunity. Leadership is inconsistent, (i experienced five GMs in my time there.) Each one wanted things done completely differently. The shop floor is left with its heads spinning each time.. Concerns from the floor never translate to actions.. Processes are very cumbersome. They have to have an entire team dedicated to fixing issues their new maintenance tracking software (Maximo) creates on a daily basis. Pay in Dallas is also not up to market standard for the area. Ethics is nonexistent and HR is even worse. Even the Ethics ambassador for the site has reported it multiple times to the ethics committee. Lots of the Supporting roles have been filled with family of Management which creates deficiencies in departments like Planning, CPMs Etc. Someone needs to seriously look into the hiring practices.
