Pros

Decent benefits even after tuition reimbursement was cut in half. Good training for new software and day to day activities. Good room for growth within the company if you know how to play their game. Being part of producing an exciting and complex product that is seen every day on the highway. Pride in being part of the production of a premium brand.

Cons

Salaries are below average. Dress code is very strict for the area. Feedback from management on goals and job performance is dismal.

Pros

Lots of work. Projects are implemented early ensuring you have lots of work to fix issues. 401K Pension 72 years of profit

Cons

Aggressive project implementation dates makes sure nothing is designed right until well after implementation. Less then industry average pay. Old computers running less then state of the art design and project management software. Since the software is so old no need to replace the computers. Still using Office 2003 and Windows XP. I guess if it works why upgrade. Glad our customers don't think this way. Saying we are an IT company when we can't keep network drives from filling up. Constant e-mails asking engineering to move large files to make room. Man does that get old. Piggott coming in and telling us how much we suck as engineers. Way to motivate the people in the trenches. I guess they just hand out JD Powers awards to anybody.

Pros

They let engineers make some decisions, give you a fair bit of leeway in your job. If you know the right people and navigate the ladder correctly, you can move up.

Cons

It's completely opaque to new employees how to move up. Salaries are managed to be the absolute lowest possible; new people are always hired at much more than current employees. Some of the engineering managers are absolutely abominable at communicating and organization projects.
