Hard working environment with many friendly people to help you succeed

Kitting Technician (Former Employee) - Bolton, ON - 25 April 2020

Work is from 9-5. Friendly people, no one was micro managing, you were trusted to do your work. Stressful at times, but it was fulfilling work. I have no complaints. I'd love to work there again! I'm a student so I was there on a co-op, and is why I left the company.

Fantastic place to work

Associate Application Scientist (Current Employee) - Toronto, ON - 11 February 2020

At PE a typical working day is 8 hrs. Every day is a fun day at PE. The most important thing for the success of the work is the working environment that anyone can found here. A very collaborative and helpful co-worker, dynamic administration and management are the keys of the PE.

Great introduction into the industry

Accounting Clerk (Current Employee) - Toronto, ON - 6 November 2016

Large multinational company, and still growing. Many organizational changes afoot, and many challenging learning opportunities arise. However, management does not present a united front and are blatant in displays of favoritism and bias.

Pros

- global industry

Cons

- a lot of work to be done, yet company won't approve more headcount

No job security, no chance to advance within.

Engineer (Former Employee) - Canada - 23 July 2012

Managers do not look after the comany. They are only concerned about next quarter performance. Expect to be bullied by your manager. Restructuring is a constant concern here.
