CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great engineering teams & corporate reputation. A very nice place to start a career, but mid-career layoffs make for rare 20 year engineers.

Cons

Cyclical. 10-15% purge every 3-5 years. Advancement opportunities skew toward the rural Midwest where schools and spousal employment opportunities are sub-par, and taxes are high.

Business Outlook

Pros

Solid company, bonus sharing if given. Used to be great and always protected employees but not anymore.

Cons

Going through bad times. Currently under outsiders influence. Not doing well due to mining business down. Laying off people not because of the mistakes made by the CEO and group presidents. Benefits continue to go down.
