Pros

The pay is great, some cool projects and some of the people are fun.

Cons

Our department was ruled by some old school engineers. There was NO innovation and a complete lack of respect for people. Almost every time someone walked away from a conversation, people would mock that person. I dreaded going to work everyday. The day I left was the best day of my life.

Pros

As much as this company allows you to learn, use this opportunity for experience and for your resume so you can move on to better things.

Cons

Lots of micromanaging and also unfairness. Overwhlemed with work and training and bosses believe we got the time for all of it. They give certain people, usually the new employees, do more than their job title asked for because they don't trust them or because they take advantage. Older employees don't need to do such training because they are relatives. Severely underpaid and management believes getting a promotion with little pay and more overtime makes up for your title. Management believes they are better than you and don't like being at fault and give the most outlandish excuse for any problems that arise.
