Culture of resistance to change Once an innovative company, now clinging to the glory days, not looking at innovation for the future. Very frequent organisational changes.

Pros

Opportunities to work internationally (Madagascar or Cuba). Most engineers enjoy working 40 hours a week and infrequently have to work longer than that, unless they are a supervisor role or a production engineer. The retirement savings plans are stellar (Sherritt gives 7% to the RRSP of salaried employeers without the employee needing to match it). There's a lot of variety in equipment and process conditions, which adds variety to an engineer's projects. Many people have worked here for their entire careers. It possible to work in many different positions over your career as an engineer at Sherritt. Technically, there is a lot an engineer can learn at Sherritt

Cons

This site was commissioned in 1954, and a lot of the original equipment is still there. This, plus a history of poor methods of document control means a lot of time is wasted trying to find accurate, up to date information. As an engineer, this is a terrifying prospect, as you could be referencing inaccurate information while making a technical decision. The work flow management system for engineering is convoluted and ineffective, leading to wasted time and frustration. I've been told the work flow management is being reviewed by a consultant and will be improved... though on what timeline is TBD. The nickel industry has been in a crisis for the last few years so Sherritt is currently in austerity mode. The company is at the tail end of a already 1-2 year long reorg, and the frustration of many roles being in-limbo for the last 6-8 months is taking its toll on moral.
