Pros

Flexible hours Work is pretty straight forward Decent PTO in addition to shutdowns

Cons

Work could be more challenging Need to standardize their process for design and drawings, pretty much a free for all Pay could also be a lot better, lots of good engineers rotate out after 2 years Need to improve communications, lots of things get lost in translation with the number of people it needs to funnel through before getting to you
