      Pros

      Its a good place to start out your career right out of college. The starting salary is not bad, but don't expect it to go up much with raises.

      Cons

      The Vacation benefits are terrible, and the company has no use for people who want a work/life balance.

      Room for improvement.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The work is interesting and the pay is competitive. Leadership development programs and technical rotation programs allow engineers to explore various positions in the company. This helps employees find a career path and exposes employees to different areas of the business--for a greater appreciation of how the company works as a whole. The company offers tuition reimbursement for technical (engineering) degrees, and has relationships with several local colleges and universities. The company is recently expanding into innovative projects and programs, and is hiring aggressively. EB is located in one of the relatively less expensive areas of Connecticut, and the local area provides a lot of variety in terms of restaurants, entertainment and sporting activities.

      Cons

      The vacation policy is deplorable, compared to similar-sized companies. It takes 10 years to earn more than 2 wks a year. The overall work-life balance isn't balanced. The facilities, for the most part, are out-dated, over-crowded and unkempt. (High technology, high customer-visible areas are state of the art. Most office spaces leave ALOT to be desired.) Most decisions (even trivial ones) are made by senior management. And the general approach to all business problems is to treat everything as an immediate crisis. All the time. And all at once. The company does not pay for business degrees or any advanced education that is not engineering-focused.
