Pros

They provide a lot of opportunities for professional development and have a lot of avenues for advancement. And management is pretty transparent and shares meaningful information to its employees.

Cons

Some large projects are driven by the "captain's" directive instead of market demand and good engineering judgement. The work environment and corporate nature are a bit too conservative, which is strange for corporation based out of Seattle... Don't really encourage thinking/designing outside the box.

Not a bad company to start with. Good retirement opportunities, 401K matching, Stock investment plan, pension plan.

Cons

Lots of downtime then ramp up. Find yourself doing a lot of busy work. Lay-offs during downtime.
