Pros

There are a lot of different departments and functional areas for potential job diversity. We support our troops through building the latest military MRAPs. Two out of every three kids ride our school buses to school everyday. We have the coolest model truck out there, the new Lonestar. Our engine is ready for the 2010 emissions using ERG technology which doesn't require the use of urea.

Cons

The trucking automotive industry is in a difficult time and volumes are down. Layoffs have occurred and could occur again if the economy continues to be this soft. Communication through the company is limited and can be found posted publicly before it is shared internally.

Pros

They want you to move around and learn the whole business and keep you from getting bored with your job. This will help getting you promoted in many areas. Beautiful building to work in. Offices are in the middle. .Deadlines are more like reminders when to start. Poor communication between departments. very good database of engineering standard and Product data management system. For new engineer, these standards are holy bible to learn from.

Cons

Great work concepts, but they don't implement them. Deadlines are more like reminders when to start. Poor communication between departments. Improve communication with employees. Senior Management too much focused on politics than work.

Pros

Decent work/life balance - while a lot of politics, good opportunities to do interesting work. Your boss has a decent amount of control in the work, and they will support you to the death!

Cons

Have to do a lot of crud for a little fun stuff. Lots of politics in play. Forced to use contract Indian engineers of whom you have no control, can't get/give feedback, and may not do the work you assign them (not the only company where I've seen this problem, btw). Two levels up there is no understanding or respect for software engineering, until you're gone! The method of evaluating your value is to toss all managers in a room with a paltry 3% raise for them to fight for their engineers. My boss would rate me a 5 (highest) where the wiring harness guy would try to force a 2 on me so he could get more for his employees. There's got to be a better way!
