Pros

In my experience, they readily hire people without prior experience in the TIC field and provide time to learn. The management is overall very friendly and helpful.

Cons

The pay is not competitive with the competition. This has led to many experienced engineers leaving within 2 to 5 years. This makes it difficult for new people to learn where they are making mistakes. The engineer churn leads to experienced engineers being expected to train several new people, while maintaining a full project schedule. This has led to burn out. There is a focus on revenue that often causes projects to be rushed. It can be difficult to get the time you need to review a complicated product, as the clients expect a quick turnaround and sales is often reluctant to issue a requote.

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.
