Pros

Navistar is an industry leading truck and engine manufacturer, the business environment is fast-paced and ever changing. There are many exceptionally talented engineers, with whom it is a pleasure and education to work. Travel is often available. Many opportunities are present at the various operating sites.

Cons

The major engineering sites are unionized, and all the bad paradigms are present. The management - union relationship is by definition antagonistic, so there is a lot of petty bickering about who can do what work, overtime, profit sharing, etc. The result is a divided engineering group, with each function in its silo, not communicating with any others. The engineering group is inflexible, slow, and misguided.

Pros

The only reason to work at International is if you are an engineer with diesel engine experience and you MUST live near Chicago. The only other place to work is Case New Holland? International knows this, they know that their employees are "stuck" because if they want to quit and get a new job, they MUST relocate. Actually, the only other reason to work there is that they pay their non-managers overtime. So if you do not have a life, you can make up for the poor salary with the overtime pay. Just do not count on it as they have "frozen" overtime in the past when budgets get tight.

Cons

International does not pay very well. They hire engineers from the bottom of the barrel. They are currently understaffed. Waaaay understaffed. Engineers are quitting this company left and right. If you interview with this company, be sure to ask how many engineers in the specific department have quit in the last year.

Pros

Supports employees referring friends and family members.

Cons

No accountability in management. In 2008 from January thru July 12 Engineers quit 5 went to the same company. Tend to work more at putting out fires than preventing them. Employees that have been fired for a variety of reason are simply hired back as contract employees. Different departements with the company recieved drastically different profit sharing, from $1000 to $14,000.
