Pros

Management is very hands off. They offer a pretty good health benefit package. ESOP available to 401k participants. (could be a pro or a con depending how you look at it, because they offer this instead of a 401k match to your contributions)

Cons

Engineering Services division of AE is almost stricly an engineering contracting service, not a consulting service as they advertise. All of my experience and training and development has been due to and paid for by a third party. Management is very hands off and will tell you anything you want to hear to keep you happy, whether it is true or not.

Pros

Great people and work culture

Cons

Not specific to Applied Engineering but contract work can be tough when there are re-assignments. Pay is less than a what a client would pay their direct employees.

Pros

Variety of projects Straightforward career development goals Good work/life balance Supportive culture Employee Stock Ownership Program is great for retirement savings Work for global companies as a 3rd party contractor

Cons

Employee experience is mostly determined by customers, who may not prioritize your development. Compensation reflects the customers' location, often rural areas with no competition for employees
