Pros

-High tech industry -Local work (most people need to commute to NYC from this region) -Matches 4.5% if you contribute 6% to 401k

Cons

-Preferential hiring of foreigners to higher paying positions. The vast majority of engineers, senior engineers, and senior managers, are foreign. -No internal promotion, although you CAN perform lateral transfers after 12 months. -Advertised referral bonuses are rejected by management after the other person is hired. -High senior management turnover -Safety last mentality. Elevated work with no fall protection allowed, emergency showers and eyewash stations with no drains, or adjacent to high voltage power boxes and receptacles. -Irregular splitting of hours to prevent paying overtime. If you work 7pm Saturday until 7am Sunday, the work day is split into two separate pay weeks. -12 hour shift workers receive less breaks, less sick days, less vacation days, and more mandatory overtime than standard day shift personnel.
