Pros

Great benefits, You will most likely get paid more than the average engineering firm as far as marketing goes. Comp time for overhead employees is unique in this industry.

Cons

Lots of leadership changes in the Colorado office over the past few years. Because of this, there is a "make it or break it" kind of attitude in that region. As the only marketer in that office, there is little room for career growth or mentorship, unlike other regions of the company. Current leadership is very unwillingly to entertain outside opinions or perspectives. As a marketer, it was difficult to manage local expectations with corporate expectations and you are often told to "choose a side." This office takes "loyalty" very seriously and if you are seen as being on corporate's side or if they think you are sharing their operations with the corporate team, your job will be made very difficult. Women employees beware, your opinions will be minimized, regardless of experience or authority. Unless you're ready to "bend the knee" this is not the right place for you.
