Pros
Mainstream is a great company that offers great pay, competitive benefits, and a family friendly work environment. You will celebrate successes as a company. You will receive yearly pay increases that are higher then the state average. Contrary to what I've read in past reviews, if you stick around for more then a few days, you will have the opportunity to learn a bunch of new skills and work on multiple projects. Mainstream looks to promote internally before sourcing from outside of the company. Mainstream has a consistent flow of contracts which means there is no shortage of work. If you are a hard worker, you will have a home at Mainstream for a long time. This is a small business that operates differently then other large engineering corporations in the area. If your comfort level lies in flying under the radar in a large corporate structure, this might not be the place for you. If you are a self starter who enjoys challenging work, with a quirky small business structure, Mainstream is a great place to be.
Cons
You have to be self motivated to be successful. If you are someone who needs to be micromanaged, this is not the work environment for you. If you are a title chaser, this company is not for you. High performers will sometimes receive new titles but more then likely will receive there promotion in the form of a pay increase.

Pros
-Great pay for new engineers -40 hour weeks are all that’s expected, overtime is saved to be paid out or saved for more vacation time. -Incredibly smart coworkers that are all always willing to help -Ability for new engineers to run projects right out of school -Hands on work, not just sitting behind a desk all day -Exposure to a ton of new technologies
Cons
-There is a disconnect between the new engineers and the technology leaders that have been there 10+ years, they are out of touch with expectations for new engineers. That being said: -Managers seem to try more than technology leaders, but the fact that they are basically full-time engineers and part-time managers hinders their ability to mentor younger engineers. -There is basically no diversity. It is almost all white guys. -You really have to be self motivated to succeed here. The more senior engineers are always willing to help if they have time, but that’s not a given.
