Pros

I'm proud of the work I do. And there's no shortage of work to be done. The majority of long time employees are knowledgeable and love to talk trucks. I have a lot of respect for a lot of engineers there.

Cons

There are a shortage of positions that require FEA or other analytical expertise. It is all outsourced to another division of PACCAR. This wouldn't be bad, but it has created a propensity to over-engineer parts. Mainly because it takes too much time and effort to have someone else do the work, and project timelines are rushed.
