Pros

- You will join a community (work and outside life) in love with the sea. If you are a sea-loving person then you will be hard pressed to find a better place to work/build a life. - 95% of people at EB and in the general area are very pleasant. - To crib some other reviews: if you are an engineer AND not a COMPLETE idiot then you will have job security as long as EB is a company. 401K is a ridiculously good deal. - O! There are some great places to eat and drink in southeastern CT (very diverse with respect to flavors and cost)

Cons

- IF you are a SINGLE male, well, southeastern CT does not have a wealth of suitors. Some may disagree. Mind you, I am giving a subjective observation from a heterosexual view point. It may be difficult to build a family if you come to this company/area single. - To further hammer home the last point. EB has maaayyybbeee 1 female engineer for every 20 male engineers. - Along similar lines...EB and the surrounding area is predominantly white. YES, there are pockets of various other ethnic groups. BUT if you go out to most restaurants/bars..you get the point. This is not an objective con, but for me it is kind of a big deal...
