Pros

Very challenging, lots of work and new projects, lots of opportunities to improve and develop, great people to work with. Great engineers to work with. Tons of opportunities for creativity and innovation. Ton of opportunities for improvement and growth.

Cons

Very very busy! Hard not to get inundated. Been tough to find balance in life this past year. In Phx there are 2 main businesses, MSS which build MCM's, and the SMT side. MCM side is awesome. The SMT side has good people but the leadership SUCKS, causing a revolving door of employees below them. Bonus's are kinda small - would love to be compensated more with equity & for performance.

Pros

Great people. Good starting pay, bonus plan, 401k match. PTO is encouraged (at least by my direct management and others). Many company holidays and a Christmas shutdown that makes taking 2 weeks off very easy (using some PTO days). Lots of interesting work and projects. Lots of opportunity to be part of different project phases and responsibilites.

Cons

Lean teams means you're likely juggling more than what's preferred/reasonable. Changing priorities can make closing out tasks difficult. Annual salary increases around 3-5% are reasonable but can be underwhelming given the amount of work and stress the job typically requires. Never recieved any market adjustment (while other local companies have), larger than expected salary increases, or anything that shows above average employee appreciation regarding pay.
