Pros
Here in Cambridge ON RA manufactures MV drives and starters which is very interesting products. There is tons of work since they are selling like crazy. There is lots of hands-on work and possibility to get exposed to real work even as a young engineer. There is quite a lot of people that spent their whole career there.
Cons
Horrible pay that reflect local conditions and doesn’t take into consideration bigger cities that area around. Lately there is more of an American approach in firing people with higher salaries, some very valuable people were let go just because of the money they were making. There is a lot of talk about shifting production to Mexico, China and Poland. Long term production might be severely downsized. Long term they will probably be specialty drive manufacturer and support centre. Stupid evaluation system that bonuses are based on put a lot of stress on employees.
