Great place to summer intern and potentially work.

Electrical engineer intern

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible hours, as long as you get your 40 in. Overtime pay for Interns and Engineer 1 & 2. Great people to work with. My supervisor was awesome and I got along with him well. I learned a lot about the company and the systems they design. As an electrical engineer intern, I didn't really learn as much as I though I would about engineering but I did earn a lot about the how the systems work and how they play a role in the overall function of their product.

Cons

For an engineer intern, it could get very boring at times. A lot of paperwork. Not much hands on experience.

Business Outlook

Pros

Lot a work in some groups. Very stable (no layoffs in engineering). Interesting work.

Cons

Slow moving. Hr policies reflect more of a manufacturing rather than engineering. 2weeks vacation for the first 10 years! Time clock. Parking at the main facilities is terrible. IT policies are from the stone age. Only 5 possible promotions and the last one is borderline impossible.
