Pros

The work you do serves the general public with regards to safety. There are some opportunities for travel if you want them. Annual bonus is nice.

Cons

The PTO needs to be updated for senior employees - you get the same time off after 10 years as somebody that starts today. The company seems very siloed and disconnected, and departments fight over revenue ownership. Little to no advancement opportunities (besides a title change with the same basic responsibilities). Feels as if there is very little effort taken to keep employees, and seems they'd rather replace experience with somebody younger and willing to accept lower pay.

Pros

The work is interesting. Some decent travel is available if desired. If you work hard and set yourself apart from others you can earn a promotion.

Cons

It’s all about who you know. All responsibilities fall on Engineering. Engineering does much more than “engineer” and spend too much time on stuff that admin staff “should be able” to do. When something needs to change the usual solution is to have Engineers be responsible for it because many non-engineers can’t handle mediocre tasks.
