Pros

getting paid, employees are very helpful

Cons

-engineering has 50% annual staff turnaround , all electrical engineers left within in 1 year. But no one seems to be concerned about any of that, instead its said to be a people company. -lots of talk about leadership, but accountability is passed completely to employees with no support from management -managers / team leaders have no idea nor regard of skills of their employees, even in a 3 person team. Skills are not utilised. -annual performance reviews, if they ever take place, are meaningless and lead nowhere -no support across teams -sales dreams up things and blames the test facility if it does not work -staff turnaround increases, no one cares -need CEO approval to buy a 300 bucks sample -accountants get paid more than engineers, so nothing about all the above is much of a surprise.

Pros

Nothing positive in this company

Cons

Management is very dysfunctional & Racist. No organization. No appreciation for your effort, your boss is always skeptical about your qualifications (they don't trust employees-I have no idea why they hire them from the first place). Bonus are promised and never given. They keep on overcharging employees with new tasks for free (They want to get the most out of you with minimum payment). No work/life balance. You must “live to work” & spend all your day at work to be a good employee. You must not have a life, you should kill yourself for them with a minimum payment. A group of hypocrites controlling the company, all the Canadian norms & laws are disrespected & broken. They threaten the employees & disrespect them since they are immigrants. What makes it worse is that the HR department is on the management side. Employees are all sick & non-team players, everyone is afraid of losing his job.They are not willing to help nor share information & not even allow you to grow. It's a very toxic, unhealthy environment. Worked there for a while & left with severe anxiety & stress.

Pros

I honestly don't see any pros in this company.

Cons

- management is very poor. - This company treats employees more like robot than humans. - The pressure and stress levels are extremely high. - Salaries are well below industry standards comparing the workload.
