Pros

Stable company Good salary Good amount of holidays, including a week long shut down around Christmas Good place for young engineers to cut their teeth

Cons

Top heavy Management is extremely hindsight driven, no matter what you do, you should have done something different Not much room for movement within the company New ideas are brushed off for "best practices" without much consideration

Pros

Lots of sharp people. Good benefits.

Cons

The company is very tied to the automotive industry, to the point that it almost went under during the 2008 recession. Had to cut 25% of the workforce - included me.

Pros

Entire place is like family. Workplace is fair, great group of people to work with. Couldn't be happier; been there for years have no desire to go anywhere else. The town is small, so if you're thinking of transferring don't waste your time if you're turned off by the Amish buggies driving by. Keep a copy of all emails because though there is no room for movement up the ladder here (because there is no ladder - you're one step up from the top), the engineers in Racine are constantly being promoted so keeping a record of whom you talked to and what they agreed to is critical unless you want to pitch your story again. Company picnic, employee appreciation week, bingo, great benefits, lots of vacation days and shut down in summer. Nice. Management very open to ideas.

Cons

Very small company so hard to move up the corporate ladder. Great place if you just want to grow in the field you're in. Some of the customers are insane as far as their requirements. Automotive customers will be the death of you, so if you have a customer issue with automotive be prepared to have it suck every ounce of life you have in you for the next month and 90% of the time it's something they did and we have to cow-tow to them. Not company's fault - just customer's. Ford is the worst. GM is good to work with, heavy truck customers good.
