Vantaggi
Nice office space Large company with diverse projects, but not easy to switch sectors to grow in different areas.
Svantaggi
I worked in the O&G sector in Calgary so can’t speak for the other 100 offices they have. Management is the like a scene out of the 80’s in the petroleum club. Full of old white men, and no women allowed. But In todays world the same but shorter. They’ve hired and promoted women, and will acknowledge that they’re diversity hires and that they meet their goals. They’ll say it to your face when they promote you and even say it in the email announcement. I’ve had VPs, Directors, managers make crude sexual comments/jokes in meetings. In the open concept office if there’s a project team of females the leaders would walk by and say “look it’s tea time again”… and these are to a group of the best performing PMs and engineers. Maternity leave would kill your career, they’ll openly acknowledge that as a project risk and pass you on great opportunities because of your likeliness of having a child. And if you’re a person of color, good luck! The only thing they’ll keep you around for is to translate the work to the folks they’ve outsourced to India, Romania and 3rd world countries.
