Pros

Great atmosphere to learn in. They understand that you don't have experience, and they do their best to teach you. Also, they give you actual projects that their engineers would work on.

Cons

Fast paced, but other than that I don't have anything bad to say.

"Great outlook"

Pros

Comp and benefits are great, lots of opportunities to work on what you like. New CEO is focused on the personnel and making some good changes. World class safety performance and culture.The work is challenging but satisfying.

Cons

Incompetent middle management. New IT or Systems projects are rolled out to "check the box" but aren't fully functional - this is really killing the internal clients. Also the performance management system is not streamlined and lets under performers get away with keeping their jobs for no reason.
