Pros

Good opportunities for career growth and movement within the company. This could be a good first job for people. Unfortunately, company needs to work on compensation, work/life balance, and how they treat their employees to be able to retain them, and promote employee satisfaction. This is probably why there is a high number of young engineers there; however, most of these engineers leave within a couple of years to companies that treat them better in the above described areas.

Cons

Expectation here is that work takes priority over all aspects of your life. Continually rotating schedules, e.g. first shift, swing and grave, sometimes weekend work, sometimes on call. It's hard to plan out your personal life with all of this. Salary is not good, and adding the hours you will be working plus personal sacrifices does not help.

Pros

Was a great company 5 years ago. Declined heavily in the last 3 years. Way too many lay offs and restructuring.

Cons

Favoritism. Manager has no answers looks to someone they manage for answers. This person gatekeeps information and is overall toxic. Contradictory instructions. Managers will rely on bad information and then different managers will give you conflicting orders. If you try to go to the upper managers they will terminate you and lie about it. You could be asked to solve problems you were not hired for.
