1. Sometimes I received a really delayed response from the management team
2. Sometimes need extra hours, I don't know if that is the culture for the hardware team
3. Repetitive for co-op work
4. Need to be self-oriented
5. The hardest part of the job is to get the manager to understand my problem statement, sometimes they're too busy
6. Largest gain is to learn a variety of engineering concepts.

Sierra Wireless is great place to work. The senior leadership group is very strong and regularly communicates with staff to keep everyone in the loop on strategy, results, and direction. Management's commitment to the long term is shown in their investment strategy. Personal growth and development is supported with a variety of training options. As a growing company, long term career paths are available for those …

The Richmond location has great facilities, including a top quality gym and cafeteria that serves an excellent menu for breakfast and lunch. The work staff are very friendly and professional. I was given clear instructions while also flexibility to accomplish my tasks.

The work environment is serene. The employees are highly capable and management does not interfere with day to day tasks. Hardest part of the job is learning the code base and development environment. Most enjoyable part of the job is developing for innovation tech.

Co-op work can be very repetitive with a lot of grunt work. People are great to work with though. There isn't much documentation about a lot of tests conducted hence you often have to reinvent the wheel even if someone else has already done the same task before. 

Sierra was a great place to work and I wish I had the skill set needed to continue in the role that I was hired for. The management team was very helpful and wanted to assist with the transition out of the role. Competitive salary and great working conditions. I would highly recommend working here

There are times that the office is really busy and times that everyone is more relaxed. 
Someone brings in donuts every week for the office.
Lunch hour is rarely interrupted with work

Sierra seemed to be a nice team working environment, a bit slow going, but very positive. free parking and subsidized cafeteria on site. Big comfortable cubicles. I totally recommend it as a great workplace.

Lots of opportunity to take-on interesting projects. There is always abundant volume of work that needs to get done. Very focused on keeping pace with latest technology, so expect to always be challenged to learn the latest wireless technology "on the job".
