Pros

Exposure to different types of products. Travel opportunities. Chance to meet with industry specialists.

Cons

Incompetent management - from upper level managers all the way down to immediate supervisors. No basic decency when it comes to dealing with employees; complete lack of inter personal skills. Inhumane work hours and expectations. Narcissistic attitudes of senior level engineers. Frustrations with dealing with processes that are counter productive. Pressure on billing to produce substandard work. Yearly raises are pitiful for most. Extremely high turnover. No work life balance.

Pros

Good group of people in local office.

Cons

Stuck in the past. Unwilling to consider updating methods or procedures. "We've done it this way for 30 years and it has worked." Sales relies upon project engineers to do most of their work for them. When volume of work is slow that becomes the engineers responsibility to go find new clients. Can't reliably pay the most basic of utility bills on time. I've seen the power cut off 2x and the gas this past winter.
