Pros

- Get to evaluate different devices with cutting edge technology

Cons

- Everything is just chaos, the personnel you work with internally, the lab, and the job itself. Employees are tolerated to yell or curse with no consequences. It's common to go around wasting time looking for tools to do your job. It is rare to find a project that is given the appropriate amount of time to finish. - Each engineer is just a revenue generator with a certain target number to meet each month. Management won't admit it but an engineer's performance is directly tied to how much money you can make for the company each month. - You're on your own to interpret new standards and figure out how to do a test. Therefore you learn by yourself every month under stress trying to make the revenue target. - No bonus for engineers. Employees are underpaid in this company due to the low margin of profit.

Pros

Good group of people in local office.

Cons

Stuck in the past. Unwilling to consider updating methods or procedures. "We've done it this way for 30 years and it has worked." Sales relies upon project engineers to do most of their work for them. When volume of work is slow that becomes the engineers responsibility to go find new clients. Can't reliably pay the most basic of utility bills on time. I've seen the power cut off 2x and the gas this past winter.
