Pros: Amazing benefits at this company, but that's about it, lol.

Cons: My whole experience at this company has been stressful and chaotic. I absolutely hated it, and when I randomly got laid off, I wasn't too mad about it. My manager was constantly on me, pinging me non-stop about every little thing, even though I had an amazing track record of getting all my tasks finished early. There was absolutely no trust on her end. There was one moment in particular that I can recall that really just left a sour taste in my mouth about the way management worked at this company (or it could've just been my manager, really), but it went like this: I had finished working on one of my assigned tasks. It was maybe 10:30 AM. I was in the office and I get up to go to the restroom. After the restroom, I go to the cafeteria to grab a cup of coffee, because it is morning after all. Couldn't have been more than 15 minutes, when bam, my phone vibrates and I get a ping. It's my manager: "Where are you? Your team's status has been on away for too long." After that moment, I just lost all faith and trust in the company. Now, this isn't the only stressful experience I've had at the company. It was just where everything suddenly became clear to me that no matter how hard I worked or how early I turned my programs in, there would always be distrust for some reason. Another con I realized towards the end of my time at GM is the managers have been managers for so long that they have not touched actual code in years, losing the ability to do any actual real work, apart from barking orders at people like some work camp. I came to realize this when I was giving my manager a rundown on a program I had created, and she began to ask me questions which made me not only doubt her knowledge on newer technologies we were working with (which they insisted on using), but her knowledge in basic coding skills.

Pros: Good benefits, stable company that's investing in the EV market.

Cons: Very large company where you are, generally, very far removed from the finished product.

Pros: As the title shows, it has good work-life balance. CAE has become a critical part of the engineering development process.

Cons: There were abundant free software evaluation opportunities, but it’s hard to bring new software in.
