Avantages
Great coworkers. Profit sharing exists and is ok. Lower and middle management are quite good, they are very approachable and aren't afraid to work alongside the worker bees. Hours are reasonable; if you have to work weekends/nights management is helpful in scheduling it and usually are there if you need help. Sick leave and medical leave are both very good. Good opportunities for professional learning/conferences. Good collaboration with other teams. The CEO (Allan) and President (Don) are both good guys.
Inconvénients
Career advancement is challenging. The teams in IT/IS are fairly flat so unless someone leaves it can be challenging to grow or advance. Annual pay increases are minimal at best and don't cover inflation at least post-COVID. In terms of software engineering, most of Pyrotek's tech stack is early 2000s with quite a bit of the mission-critical stuff circa 1990s. Very, very isolated pockets of less obsolete technology. The technical debt is quite significant. Change comes (if ever) very, very slowly.
