Pros

If you are looking to get experiences in the Engineering business a good place to start but look to move in 2 years

Cons

It seems that upper management is just concerned with the Bottom number and they use this to pressure Employees to work harder and with out the proper amount of employees they seem to be replacing older employees with younger collage students with out the proper knowledge for such a high profile company in the engineering field

Pros

I work with some of the best people in the business. The benefits are amazing.

Cons

My department has been reorganized at least 4 times in 2015. As a result, on top of so many other people being laid off, we lost a lot of team members. Still others were forced into new roles that they did not sign up for. Systems were prematurely put into place with the latest reorganization, causing quite a bit of discontent. Incentive bonuses were cut for my department (and potentially others), on top of a salary freeze, so many of us are very underpaid. Morale is at an all-time low, and our direct leaders are confused as to why. That demonstrates the severe disconnect between leadership and employees.

Pros

Better benefits than most in the same industry. Wide variety of projects to choose from. Good performance based spot bonuses.

Cons

Limited upward mobility. Lower salary for experience level but that is prevelant through the industry.
