Pros

It can be fulfilling to take a project from bringing to end. Laid back office environment depending on where you work.

Cons

Pay is below average. Constant drive to "Go global" despite how poorly things have gone so far. Outsourcing CAD work... To Egypt... Yes, Egypt of all places. Outsourcing manufacturing to Mexico.
