Pros

Decent place to work for engineers just out of college. You work closely with not only the management but also the owners of the company. It's easy to ask the questions needed to get the job done. The company also sends an impressive amount of time building the business which includes weekly meetings to go over standards and new issues/solutions.

Cons

Small company, so little chances for advancement. The starting salary is less than most engineering firms.

Pros

Chance to take on responsibility. Great manager(s) who allow you to work with freedom (but very strict about tardiness, which is fine). We work very hard, so if you don't like work, don't waste your time here. Hours are quite regular, but overtime is required (1-2) a month.

Cons

Currently not a lot of room for promotion. I don't have any cons about this company. I love working there, I love my job, I love the challenges it gives me, and I look forward to working there for years to come.

Pros

This is a good place to intern. The pace of work and expecations for immediate productivity provide a fitting ramp-up into the 'real world' for soon to be graduated college students. Rampant change and high turnover provides a rare opportunity to get ahead quickly for someone who can navigate the cultural pitfalls and produce results.

Cons

Campy, boys-club environment at the top. As the company has grown and ownership changed hands the magnitude and requirements of the top roles have outpaced the talents and abilities of those executives currently fulfilling them. Bifurcated hierarchy unfit for a large organization. Don't expect to rise through the ranks unless you play golf and attend church at the same places as key decision makers. Monoculture rules and diversity is frowned upon and quickly dismissed. Long hours and low-end wages High turnover and low morale.
