Pros

Out of the box type projects, nice locations, plenty of technical resources that allow for mental growth. Working here is a great spring board for anyone's career.

Cons

Where do i begin? Terrible management, too many upper managers who know nothing about getting the task complete. Band wagon style management system allows people who know nothing about a tool to jump in on the completion phase, say they had a role, and use this as a stepping stone to boost their careers. Mean while the technician, drafters and lead engineer who created the design get shafted, stiffed out of bonuses and "let go" when the economy slows.

Not interested in their employees at all

Pros

Generally left alone to get your job done but it also depends on manager. Own office. I was very lucky to get a great manager who listened to me and actually helped me learn new things.

Cons

Terrible health insurance and benefits. Higher ups enjoy the leisurely schedule of whatever they want while all others are on a short leash. Not much incentive to do a better job or advance unless you are a scientist.

Pros

Size of company and global in nature

Cons

Great company if you own stock; they focus on shareholder equity but they have no regard for their employees.
