Pros

Great Pay. You get a bonus called STIP if the company is doing good.

Cons

Training is not the greatest. A lot of old engineers who been working there for over 20-30 years. People tend to stay at the company a long time.

Pros

Employees very rarely get fired or have their "jobs eliminated" due to "family" slow moving corporate culture. Creates a comfort for long term employees. 401k and decent benefits package. Most people will be friendly and helpful. Not a Hire and Fire company. Travel and meals are expensed and supported.

Cons

Very poor leadership and management skills in the Business Development space. Sales Targets for are given with out the employees input and based on outdated business forecasting tools and limited forward looking indicators. 25% of your pay in sales is based on meeting targets. Management controls all project pricing strategies so you are more like a proposal and pricing messenger than an employee with agency over your own sales success with customers. Compensation is not determined by your own work ethic and intelligence. Sales management determines your wins/losses and pricing strategies with out your input or approval. Feedback by team not taken into account and not acted upon after years of the same messages to fix dynamics.
