Pros
The pay was good and the benefits were in line with expectations at that level
Cons
- It is not about what you do, but who you know - Lay offs are coming - cost reduction efforts started after the Japanese disaster and have progressed down hill. They announced a 700 person layoff just yesterday, and no one is knocking on the door to buy a new multi billion dollar nuclear plant when so many other options are out there. - Some managers have been there for years and that is the only reason they are still there (it is not about ability) -Employee complaints are often ignored and unchecked, HR is ONLY out for the company and never the individual. If you do bring something up you are a target and should count your days. - Although they claim to be safety oriented, they do not always act that way. I am aware of several occasions that issues were brought up to senior management that were dismissed as no big deal and pushed under the rug. Probably because the plants they are building now are WAY over budget and not even close to being delivered on time. -Management is so layered that everyone thinks they should be involved, as a result it takes months to get anything done and 100s of people to review anything.
