Pros

This was a great first job out of college. They were able to provide good training and real life experience. The pay was very good for a first job.

Cons

The work comes and goes and when things are good they are very good and when they are bad you get laid off. You figure they pay you extra to compensate for the fact that they may get rid of you after your project is over.

Pros

Hi visibility projects. Rewarding experiences Competitive Pay

Cons

Sub-bar Project Management team. Condescending at times. Entitled. Sense of superiority. Confusing Hierarchical Structure and chain of reporting. Two managers. Administrative Organizational Unit Manager and a project manager. You report to both. Not flexible at the implementation of latest and most robust design software. Extremely cautious about the implementation of AI, sacrificing productivity and cutting edge competitiveness. Extreme focus on employees training on the companies policies and procedures, but not on the technical development of employees. Do not internally promote, rather they hire from outside for vacant higher positions. Remote workers are considered second class citizens. Not equal to those who work from the office, despite their credentials and pedigrees.
