Pros

- Freedom to come and go as you please is amazing. - There's lots of opportunity for you as an engineer. As new projects come and go you get exposure to design, documentation, debugging, project management and collaboration with other engineers i.e. great experience. - They offer sabbatical - Typical clients are some of the largest aerospace companies in the world - There is profit sharing - Only require 40hrs/week

Cons

- Pay is way too low across the board. If you want to change the culture for the better, become a more competitive company and make employees happier, they should be paid the market rate. - No incentive to exercise or take breaks at work and hang out with co workers - Working from home is possible yet it's frowned upon for some reason - Overall the culture is highly varied and in many cases is not very desirable. I think part of this is due to management, part of this is due to the candidates they hire. - On the above point, management does not really serve as a role model for other people to follow, especially the CEO. Doesn't make you feel good about the company when the people "leading" you aren't very inspiring.

Pros

- Lot of individual freedoms. You get to handle your own purchase orders, and have a lot of control over your schedule. - Electroimpact builds interesting and unique equipment for aircraft production lines. - Amazing healthcare plan.

Cons

- Laid off with no warning at the beginning of 2018, it is now the end of the 2018 and they are reportedly hiring again. A lot of people left the company after the layoffs and I've heard moral has been pretty low. - Unorganized company with insufficient communication from higher ups. - Lower than average starting wage. - Only given a review once, and it was to tell me what I did wrong with no opportunities to fix it before they reduced my wage increase. - Preference is given to older employees, some of who have been with the company when it started. They are incredibly knowledgeable but are often too busy to help teach younger engineers. - Very little support from higher ups, don't expect much training or advice in how to do your job. You are expected to ask questions to learn how get anything done, just don't expect other people to actually have answers. - Look up Electroimpact's Peter Zieve in the news, their owner and CEO is a rather extreme individual and your personal opinions may conflict with his. He is no longer involved in hiring at Electroimpact. I mean I had to provide a picture with my resume, I didn't notice it as weird at the time, but hindsight is 20/20. - A lot of political nonsense. Management is excessively conservative and makes it pretty obvious.
