      Pros

      Excellent compensation and benefits package with a significant larger bonus for top-tier performers Excellent safety culture Technically challenging work

      Cons

      Toxic work culture - focus is on trying to please the boss rather than doing what is right. Too many politicians in the company who have one personality for management and another personality for everyone else. Over-stretched work force - people are pushed to work extra hours to meet unrealistic deadlines. Seems like everything must be done now. Over-proliferation of Excel spreadsheets - deluge of non-value added paperwork weighs people down.

      Not what it used to be

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      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
