Pros

Good place to work. Great mentoring of newly hired engineers, but confusing amount of paperwork one has to deal with even after staying for 1 year. Would recommend as a starting place but not for mid-career engineer

Cons

As explained above, the paperwork can get you down, and if you are not pro-active and seek out people who know stuff better, can easily get frustrated by small detail

Pros

Decent starting salary, good benefits, generous PTO

Cons

1% raises forever. Last promotion I got to Principal had no raise but a bump in bonus percentage. Now they are giving kids 8-12% raises and they have less than 5 yrs. Once you hit about 5 yrs you will get the 1% a yr and be pigeon holed into a specific job. Then good luck trying to change.
