Pros

Worked with some talented people and there are some opportunities you won't find at smaller companies.

Cons

If you aren't burnt out already you're probably well on your way there. Dwindling resources. Rising expectations. Platitudes from leadership. Managers too busy to manage or are too hamstrung to drive meaningful change. Reviews where it becomes clear that you, viewed as a "high potential" by managers past and present can never somehow exceed expectations across enough goals to make a difference. And when you seek a path forward to improve, you might be met with vague, subjective advice.

Flawed strategy leads to lost creativity

Pros

There are a lot of great dedicated people to work with. Pay is competitive and benefits are average, although insurance is costly. Local management is very approachable and willing to hear your ideas.

Cons

Unfortunately, the company has adopted two strategies to save money and improve the bottom line: 1. Staff reductions to drive process improvement. Roles are eliminated and remaining employees are expected to improve processes in order to return to a normal workload. 2. Process Improvement to drive staff reductions. The basic principle of continuous improvement is to create more time for value-added activity. The company is valuing cost cutting ahead of increasing activity to add value. The danger is that, after enough iterations of this cycle, roles become totally task oriented and workers lose time for creativity. Without creativity, there is no growth for the worker or the company. Workers realize they are not growing and leave for other opportunities. EPC loses it's best and brightest.
