Great for a New Engineer - Difficult Balance
Pros
-Incredible experience in a fast pace manufacturing environment -Plenty of great minds to mentor you in first few years out of college -Industry changing products -Great bonuses and stock program which can lead to big bursts of income -Great career paths are possible but extremely competitive, however lateral movement for better career fit is frowned upon and sometimes denied.
Cons
-In my experience, management is a direct reflection of their superior, this causes narrow mindedness and rushed reactions -Very shortsighted for immediate revenue gain and stock movement -I always get the same answer from management, "I want you to improve the process without changing the process." -Extremely demanding. It is difficult to have the proper work life balance. Work late nights and weekends when needed. -As a standard the practice the management tries to get as much production and development with as few resources as possible, this includes people and equipment
