Pros

US Counter part managers are good, flexible working hours. As long you get the job done no one will ask about the working hours. You can talk to your manager to work on different projects. If you wish to change team people go through internally. Good Salary Hike average 10 to 13 % sometimes 15%, If you are expecting more than 15% you need to switch the company.

Cons

Since this is Mechanical and Controls Company most of the times you feel that Software Engineers are treated like underdogs. They may not tell on the face, but it is reflected in the Hike and Recognition and promotion. And only Mechanical and Controls and Electricals team will get good promotions and recognition, Management thinks it is their birth right not to promote Software Engineers. There is not single example of Software Engineers growing in the organization. If you are a software Engineers think twice before joining this company. Sometimes managers can do micro management.

Pros

Unlimited paid time off yearly.

Cons

Site leader at the Erie site. Indecisiveness by upper management. Unrealistic expectations. No repercussions for bad employees. Good employees get abused, verbally and by being given excessive workload. Salary teams are short staffed and site leader won’t allow new hires. The union - no explanation needed.
