Pros

Opportunity to learn - a lot.

Cons

Opportunity to learn - a lot; but unless you are a recent college grad with an Engineering degree you will never be promoted. "Lateral" transfers to a higher position means more responsibilities and no additional pay. After two years I have gotten 40 cent raise but I have had three position jumps. They tell me I am doing very well and will allow me to train all incoming new grads (who come in making more money than me) but will not pay me for that knowledge because my degree is not in engineering.

Sad waste of talented staff

Pros

The opportunity to work with incredible talent and experience. Employees are from every side of the globe and bring many great ideas under one roof. Health insurance is great.

Cons

Management is poor. No respect for the employee or family. Technicians with tons of experience learn quickly to just be quiet. Engineering overworked and not compensated for time. Management forces vacation time to days they want and will not grant sick time when needed. Many employees are planning to leave once their 2 year contract is over. the company would be much better off if they listened to the experienced staff instead of managers hired from failed companys. Everything good gets destroyed with the inconstant managing styles, lack of management training and empire building.

Pros

New/advanced technology. Other than that, no other benefit you can expect. Another good thing is, new desk and builidings so you can have clean work environment.

Cons

Too much work load. No balance between life and work. Horrible work environment and no managing skills. No time to discuss. One directional order. MFG is just deciding whatever they want. They don't listen to other departments.
