Pros

Great experience for a new engineer, older engineers provide advice and guidance. I just started myself.

Cons

HR seems to be nearly impossible to get a hold off, had to call for more than a day to accept offer.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great place to start a career. Opportunities to change jobs in the company. Extended travel gets a nice pay bump. Stable work, secure employment for "good enough" employees. Flexible work week. Work doesn't follow you home.

Cons

Promotion in the technical track requires a set number of years experience, regardless of merit. Easy to get pigeonholed, and depending on what you are doing the work isn't particularly gratifying. Another reason to leave after 3-5 years. Pay and benefits package is good enough to attract and retain "good enough" employees. There is a perception in management that any engineer can do any job, but little focus on training and cultivating subject matter experts.
