Pros

Good work experience and important products are worked on. Mostly good people to work with.

Cons

Low pay and benifits are not as good as other major engineering companies. Company is top heavy with management. Hard to get engineering help.

Pros

Excellence in a big company perspective. You can find employment because of their continual recruitment of professional, skilled and non-skilled employees.

Cons

Because of the revolving door, you see a lot of duplication of positions. And the family of incompetence is in-bred here because many positions are doubled by privileged and seniority. With very few seeking to actually improve the production process. This is company of blame game players and not team developers and mentors.

Pros

If you are a driven person, you will be exposed to a lot of responsibilities and will be able to learn quickly... however, do not expect raises or bonuses. Health benefits are affordable.

Cons

Communication is utterly broken or almost nonexistent even within very small departments. No sense of direction is provided at the operational level. Managers try to keep pay so low that there is no effort on talent acquisition, professional development or career management. They get what they pay for: disengaged collaborators and lack of professionalism. Very little sense of collaboration or team work: constant backstabbing and very poor work environment. Pointing the finger and blaming are commonplace.
