Pros

Most Coworkers are friendly, great people to work with. Pay can be good (if you are not an engineer). Work is challenging and interesting.

Cons

Management is useless. Leaders are more concerned about making themselves look good than doing a good job. Pay is gradually getting worse for a remote location, hardly better than Edmonton/Calgary anymore. No more overtime for engineers. Bloated with diversity hires that were clearly hired for filling a statistic. Very poor work life balance, you will basically do 12 hours a day with commute time. No more work from home. Used to be a great place to work with good culture, that is slowly being eroded. Suncor taking over has been the worst thing to happen to this company
