Pros

The pay is better entry level than any other place 75k for Engineers right out of college and you can ask for 80k-85k if you Coop there.

Cons

Typical manufacturing bs you have to deal with. Upper management needs to make changes or you will continue to see young engineers come for the salary and bonus and leave after a year. ( If you stay a year you dont have to pay back your signing bonus )

Pros

Autonomy Remote work opportunities Decent Pay - only if you negotiate it

Cons

Zero training Poor leadership Lack of recognition Constant focus on “closing gaps” - you’ll spend all your time talking about less than 2% of revenue/profit Inconsistent bonus payouts with no metrics to understand how they arrive at a figure No clarity on how to achieve pay increases. Constant responsibilities added to your role that were not previously part of the role you were hired for.
