Pros

Fast timescales mean designs are implemented quickly leading to good learning curve for Designers and opportunities for hands-on work. Good interaction between departments mean Designers get a good overall experience of the design process. Opportunity to progress to Senior roles.

Cons

Improvements are made too slowly and are implemented poorly. A lot of differences exist between the products from different sites and processes sometimes don't suit all sites. Engineering Change is not managed well or quickly enough and is too reliant on manual tasks. No flexitime and generally a bit old-fashioned.

Pros

I loved working there. Detailed 3D modeling is awesome and there was plenty of that kind of work. I worked on many new system designs as well as flagship systems.

Cons

Lack of documented engineering policies
