Pros

None at all, they can do better

Cons

Worst Company on earth, managers do not know how to manage, they call you to HR office for every discussion, then follow up with an email to HR on every single task. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME. They don't manage, they will recruit an american or citizen to make you fail so they can prove they need more japanese and chinese to fill their H1B quotas. AVOID THIS COMPANY.

Pros

The Pro is that I get to post here to warn any up and coming engineers to avoid this place like the plague. THIS PLACE IS CAREER SUICIDE. They will impress you with their signs all over campus, and make you believe this is a lucrative job to be sought after, then once they get you in the door....

Cons

They will sit you down in a 20 year old chair (from when the place opened). And you will be sitting there thinking "I thought this was a fortune 500 company??". Then you will notice the only people who can find it in the budget for a new chair are the managers. It's a power thing for them. Then when you try to leave after your coop, and ask for a reference, they say "We own you, we will not give you reference. You will come back and work for us or we will make sure your career is over."

Pros

Great place to work for. Starting with 20 days off per year!. Pay is great too, and the company takes good care of employees

Cons

nothing I can think of, really. I love my job, and would believe that every other company will require the same from engineers. Out of the 5 engineering jobs I had, this is the best one.
