Pros

Great work when there is work. Compensation and benefits were good for me. Had a good investment plan when I was there. You may get paid straight time for OT.

Cons

Compensation is wide ranging for the same job title. There is a lot of overlap with second, third, and fourth level engineers. Tons of layoffs. You may be expected to work 44+ with no straight time OT pay.....getting paid for OT is hit and miss. I'm still not sure how engineers are expected to work 4 hours of casual OT, but if your time card is 6 minutes short it has to be covered with either sick leave or vacation.....although you are supposed to be salary.

Pros

This is one of the nicest companies to work for. Everyone is genuine, down t earth, and kind. People are eager to answer your questions and give you meaningful work if you ask for it.

Cons

If you don't work to plug yourself in, you will not have the working knowledge to participate in the job. Without your own effort, it would be easy to coast by and fly under the radar. It is difficult to fold in a completely unexperienced intern into contracting unless the intern is proactive to learn and ask questions.
