Pros

Fairly good benefit package, although it's been declining in the past few years. Mostly easy going friendly staff as co-workers.

Cons

Unless you are a true brown noser, don't expect any chance for advancement. Several times in the past few years we would hear that sales were down and they weren't going to give raises...even as we got company updates about all the new positions that were created with people from the outside being hired for 6 figure salaries and all the companies that Mistras was buying (that was the only reason they maintain any strength in the NDT field...they bought any competitors that became a potential threat).

Pros

Awesome company with plenty of opportunities to get grow and learn. The Hiring process and training environment was great. You definitely feel like part of a team and feel like any concerns you have no matter the department will be addressed.

Cons

I honestly do not have any cons. This is a traveling career so if that is not for you just be aware of that.

Pros

- Long-term stability - Option to work remote depending on job - Can stay contained within a small team for more efficient work despite overarching corporate atmosphere (also job dependent) - Lots of good, honest, hardworking people there

Cons

- Leadership can feel disconnected, uninformed, and tone-deaf with decision-making surrounding products, teams, and messaging - Stagnant pay scale, no real ladder to climb with benchmarks and consistent pay increases - Inefficient communication and operation between cross-functional teams, leads to more friction working internally than it should
