Pros
Salary , PTO, and benefits are decent. Expect to be hired and given the keys to the kingdom if you play rugby.
Cons
If you are looking for a role that offers growth and advancement opportunities, RUN. ESI is a dead-end job. Administrative staff are subjugated to the demands and whims of their engineers. If your engineer is having a bad day, prepare to take the brunt of their verbal abuse. Gender roles are still highly in play here at ESI. Step inside and you'll feel as though you've taken a trip back to the 1960s, where women were allowed to say little more than "yes sir." If you wear a short skirt or show extra cleavage, you can expect perks like a trip to Disney World, or an exorbitant year-end bonus. Are you bothered by this? Don't try to have a meaningful conversation with HR. They are paid six figures to report everything you say back to your bosses, and you can be sure you'll be threatened thereafter. Those in HR are merely the puppets of those in charge, so you can expect zilch when it comes to employee representation.
