Pros

1. 9-5 working time 2. Work life balance for most of employee due to high margin 3 market leader in the industry in NA

Cons

1. APBC engineering director & most engineering manages know little about engineering but act they know , always give stupid directions. When things happen, they disappear. 2. APBC vp is from army background, act like a army man & his major focus is on how to show off, for example doing charity, safety awards. 3. APBC lean sigma manager likes to focus on facility management instead of how to improve productivity. 4. No or little ethics in APBC organization. 5. NO process at all. 6. Look good from outside but thumb down if see from inside.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.
