Stay Away as We're Leaving ASAP

Pros

Great place if you are obese, as they are always having eating contests and cooking challenges.

Cons

Where to start? We're also so demoralized that some departments are having interviews to see how they can get people to stay. You can't fill out a survey there because nothing is anonymous so they will track you down if you say anything negative. It's a men's club. If you hang out with the right people, you get a promotion. If you are a woman or a man who prefers going home instead of drinking with the boys, you pay the price. They spend tons of money on things that don't matter, such as entertaining lavishly but plead cost optimization when you ask for more money to do your job. No one volunteers for anything, because you're not rewarded. Then they try to have team building exercises and wonder why no one is interested in participating. We're all leaving because unless you're a man who already has drinking buddies there, you have nothing coming. Not good for your health, mentally or physically. They have health challenges, but then they turn around and have cookoffs and wing eating challenges. They are all about talent acquisition instead of talent retention. When you join, they make sure to lowball you and no one is allowed to know their salary range, so of course, you get the short end of the stick.

Electrical Systems Engineer

Pros

After moving on from entry level engineering position, the pay is very very competitive. There is also a large opportunity to learn beyond your specific engineering focus which is great for a career. For example, even if you're electrical, you might be expected to learn mechanical systems which is great for development. There is also a lot of opportunities for growth if you put a lot of work in and make your goals clear.

Cons

While the pay can be good, the leadership in the company seems to struggle with decision making. Specific site leadership is the same, and is constantly using general company "propaganda" terms and goals and then making decisions that contradict those. Engineers are also used as an "unlimited resource" due to no work hour rules and salary pay. Which means they will put as much work on you as they can, and expect long work hours. All in all, this is a good place to start your career as a new engineer, you'll learn how to work hard and it looks good on a resume, but with sacrifices in other areas (like personal life).
