Growth, stability, experience all aspects of engineering. Lots of opportunities to move up with the retirements of many long term employees.

Limited salary increases compared to previous years. Lack of innovation, but that's starting to change. Lack of urgency and pressure to get projects complete by management and supporting departments, mainly supply chain.
