Large Company, Old school, and you're a cog - Project Sales Engineer Dematic Employee Review

Pros

Decent compensation, 401K, health care, and big company perks like lunches/snacks.

Cons

The upper few hold the keys - you're a Cog. This is a position to do a few years in and leverage the name for your future. Everything is run out of Grand Rapids and if you don't show up and wrangle a resource they'll ignore you. Very silo'ed organization and if you are anything lower than middle management, be prepared to be squeezed. Also - rather slow in nearly anything and stuck in the past.
