Pros

Decent pay, good hours, unlimited overtime

Cons

Excessive workload, terrible communication, tons of wasted man hours on bureaucratic nonsense. Oh, and they'll fire you for no reason without being able to look you in the eye and tell you why you're being fired with no warning and no severance after uprooting your whole life to come work for them. Don't ever work for Blue unless you have a backup plan and significant savings. Not to mention they cut corners at every turn, ignore inspection criteria to "use as is" and keep production moving. Blue is a toxic work environment from the top down. Some great people work there, but management and engineering, no.

Pros

I like the actual job I'm doing, my team, and my manager.

Cons

Internal hires are all lateral moves, little promotions, if you show initiative then you will just be expected to do more all the time.
