Pros

Never experience the same day twice. Highly flexible work hours. Truly global team of passionate employees focused on the company's mission. Highly engaged management team at every functional level. Continued dedication to improving processes and work environment. Would recommend working here for anyone with tenacity for seeking challenges.

Cons

Still a small team compared to similar design engineering outfits at this stage of design implementation, so individual employees have to wear many hats and hold down functional responsibilities that often aren't characterized on their job description. Going through growing pains in terms of new processes and procedures. Some tools have better alternatives, but workers have little additional bandwidth to implement them. Benefits & leave can be significantly better, but this too is adapting to organizational change.

Pros

Work on a novel generation IV reactor design with a lot of experience amongst all disciplines.

Cons

Roles sometimes are based on producing results for others to analyze, leaving a feeling of lack of ownership.
