Pros

Decent pay and benefits. Wonderful people to work with at lower levels.

Cons

Layoffs and highly encouraged voluntary separation to get rid of older experienced personnel so recent grads can be hired. Reduces salaries but if the problems aren't solved, it doesn't really help the company. Management in many areas knows nothing about those areas.

Thank you for your comments. Staffing reductions are always a difficult message to hear and we understand that people may be concerned about our future. Over the past several years we have been able to accomplish some great things together and we will do that again. While these next few years will be challenging, we have a tremendous opportunity in front of us to bring three major development programs to market – something that is unheard of in our industry, yet together we are doing it. We are executing to our schedules and are making tremendous progress on each of these programs.

Pros

This is one of the nicest companies to work for. Everyone is genuine, down t earth, and kind. People are eager to answer your questions and give you meaningful work if you ask for it.

Cons

If you don't work to plug yourself in, you will not have the working knowledge to participate in the job. Without your own effort, it would be easy to coast by and fly under the radar. It is difficult to fold in a completely unexperienced intern into contracting unless the intern is proactive to learn and ask questions.
