Pros

Great team members. Very interesting work.

Cons

Company is a strong supporter of doing more and more with less and less. Stripped down engineering staff to a level where everyone is over-worked and nothing can get done because managment keeps adding more and more projects but continues to take away the needed resources to get them done. Company has a lot of procedures that need to be followed that take a large amount of time and effort to get anything done, and they continue to add more. At this point in time, the best decision as an engineer would be to leave the company or never apply.
