Pluspunten

- Commute was bliss - Salary was up there with the best - Colleagues were great - Coffee was ok (and free!) - Incompetence of the current management opened my eyes to opportunities outside RA. The thought of looking elsewhere never would've crossed my mind 2 years ago so a big thank you for that

Minpunten

- One way communication between upper management and engineering (dictatorship/bullying) - No software engineering experience in upper management leads to mistrust - Management sits on a throne of lies (e.g. we've been improving the software quality long before the new upper management was put in place, ISO is a farce, internal feedback surveys amount to absolutely nothing) - Natural leaders are being set aside because they like to challenge whatever foolishness upper management imposes on engineering. This is as close to constructive dismissal as it can get. - Three internal reorgs in the past two years leads to instability and cynicism - Hardware for software development is lacking (no SSDs, lack of RAM, had to use VMs to work and even those were under par) - Project Management is a farce, there is absolutely no agility in the process (the simplest task takes more than 5 man/days from start to finish at best and this is not going to get any better)

Pluspunten

Great environment with focus on culture building. Projects are laid out well so no hectic schedules. Great work-life balance. A lot of veterans who you can learn from.

Minpunten

Sometimes difficult due to teams that are outside of US so sometimes could be slow while waiting for other teams to report back.

Pluspunten

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.

Minpunten

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.
