Pros

Good place to start career. Lots of experienced engineers to learn from. Intern program makes you feel excited to work for company.

Cons

-Local management has absolutely no clue what to do with engineers in 3-5 year range. -Backwards thinking is leading to retention issues at some sites, with MANY more to follow. -Higher ups have explicitly stated a preference for nepotism...if you’re not related to someone in the company or major company contractor, watch out. -Zero career planning, and RLTs fail to address this. -Some sites have too much pride to address their ever prevalent morale issues.
