Pros

You get a chance to learn and grow to expert level if you are sharp and hard working. In average, engineers from SEL are much smarter than those with same years of working experience outside. Since the company is growing fast. If you end up working for a small field office, in couple of years, you will be the senior in your group.

Cons

Pay is on the low end. Work load and pressure is high. If you work for money, SEL is not your place. If you want come at 8:05am and leave at 4:55pm everyday, SEL is not your place. Management has big ambition that some time they commit to customer for new application that even the engineer doesn't have a clear picture how to implement. You need to be smart to pick up new knowledge and work with min outside help. Don't expect anyone to spoon feed you, you need to figure things out.

Pros

-Great chance to move up. Even from a Assembler. -Company cares a lot about the employees -You work hard you will be happy with yourself. You don't work hard and life at the company will be very short -Friday Lunch is very awesome. Some people complain about the food but I'm not picky, I think its always a excellent thing to do. -Growing extremely quickly which gives lots of opportunity's for employees to move up.

Cons

-Pay is not very competitive. A lot of the positions you move up to don't have much difference in pay scale from the floor, at least not for a long while. -Growing too fast. Everyone can see it. The company can't keep up with the demand its setting for itself. Often the company will agree to commitments before actually going over them with the Engineers and staff that has to work on it. This can add a lot of stress, but generally people are pretty nice about it and very professional.
