Pros

Hybrid Model of 2 Days a Week in Office RRSP Match by Employer

Cons

Top-down management style where decisions are made with no inputs from workers. Worst part is the engineering management does not come from an engineering background. Not able to speak to management as they are busy with meetings, and they themselves do not show up at the office during work from office days. Little ability to move within the company as knowledge is very specialized. If you are a technical specialist, there is little to no chance your manager will let you move elsewhere. All training is on the job. Mainly self-study.
