Pros

Good pay for entry level engineers. Coworkers are very friendly and management is very accommodating. 40 hour work weeks with very minimal overtime. Very specific field of engineering that is very rewarding. National and international travel. Great work/life balance. Room for advancement.

Cons

Lack of communication between fields of engineering, sales, management, & project management. Very little formal training to bring new hires up to speed and assume much of the knowledge of their product is widespread. Difficulty transitioning to new life cycle software. Expectations can be ambiguous. Very little extracurricular activities.
