Pros

Well established company in the nuclear industry that has value added being the OEM for many nuclear plants worldwide. Able to attain a lot of business by having a large amount of historical data that plants rely on. Alternate work schedules, competitive benefits and pay, good experience for somebody starting in the nuclear industry.

Cons

After leaving Westinghouse to work for another company in the nuclear industry, I have come to understand how depressing my later years with Westinghouse had become. Employee morale had hit an all-time low, pay freezes and diminishing benefits, and worst of all, seemingly no control over your career and growth as an engineer in the nuclear industry. Since working for another nuclear company for 9 months, I have expanded my knowledge ten-fold and have gained valuable experience throughout many technical areas of the industry. I feel like a direct contributor to the success of the company and I have full control over my career path. Also, I've felt like an engineer again. I've opened numerous books searching for applicable equations to solve problems that need to be solved. What a concept!
