Pros

Good pay, good benefits, in a good field.

Cons

Overall, it was a toxic culture. Those making decisions don't want information, they just want results, even if those results come at a cost. There is no holistic view of how their implemented changes affect the whole, so everyone is only focused on their own personal metrics, constantly undermining everyone else's processes. No true collaboration, just pretending to get along so they can move on and do their own plans.

Pros

Decent Pay Reasonable Hours Generally pleasant facilities

Cons

Many engineers are not native English speakers, which can lead to frustrating communications difficulties. Regulation method for lifting solar modules was destroying my wrists. No benefits for most Engineering Technicians.
