Pros

This company provides challenging work, the opportunity to work with talented colleagues, and the power industry is a great one to be involved in with much growth potential in the future. The design side of this company is a great place to develop oneself as an engineer. Naturally in such a large corporation, the benefits package is excellent.

Cons

There are limited promotion opportunities within the company. There is a recent "technical career path," but it has yet to be vetted, and the consensus has always been that management is the only way to make any money. Compensation (salary) is also below average in general compared to other companies. The rating system can cause a great amount of frustration for design engineers as your raises are based on your performance vs your peers. You have the option of working in a challenging environment and being punished by having mediocre raises, or excelling at a boring job.

Pros

My first job after college and my internship was a great experience. I learned a lot about medical devices and the medical device industry, and I even got promoted to site leader pretty quickly.

Cons

My training was nonexistent; I learned everything from medical device service manuals. In my region, a billion-dollar company offered no bonuses or decent pay, and the management was micromanaging and horrible.
