Pros

Co-workers are nice enough. The science and medical applications involved are fascinating, not that your opinion on those is desired.

Cons

No opportunity to gain skills with CAD/CAE/MATLAB, FEA, PLC programming, Visual Studio, or other serious engineering resources. All of that happens elsewhere. Virtually no opportunity to gain skills with physical equipment such as logic analyzers, prototyping technologies, or machine shop equipment. Documentation, if you manage to get it from one of the multiple systems IBA has, in some cases is not adequately QC'd. Example: one subassembly update's functional description was mostly blurry photos of whiteboard notes from some meeting; that update had to do with linear motion stop/start of the subassembly's position in a particle accelerator; workers in different room made it move without realizing it; serious damage and delays ensued.

Pros

Great technologies, Save life. Overall, European company normally does not treat the US employee as the same.

Cons

Poor management, Shift can be changed with prior planning. Service Engineers must take a many difference hats. Identify your potential before apply this type of job after graduated. Seems that you don't learn anything after you took your advance operator. However if you know the full knowledge of the Proton B1 or B1+, then you are not using outside of IBA to enhance your career.
