Pros

Stable Decent benefits Every other Friday off

Cons

Management is afraid of change and innovation. The company has gotten process top heavy yet product failures still seem high. Capable engineers are shackled to generating data and false trade wins to satisfy the process and field problematic equipment that would have worked well if they had simply been allowed to do their job.

Pros

Good working environment Exciting projects Great coworkers (for the most part, like any place)

Cons

Like any maturing company, it has become more and more top-heavy, placing more and more emphasis on project management and milestones, sometimes over bread-and-butter engineering. I could have half the PMs I have now and do a better job
