Designed for burnout

Pros

Not a bad if you can hustle, cut the right corners, and your aspirations are to stay a surveyor, or become a manager.

Cons

No option for less than 12 hours days. Frequent 16 hour days. Overtime doesn't happen until a weekly max hits. Hourly is very low. All your money comes from bonuses. No bonus for quality work. No incentive for innovation.

Pros

Young team leadership and startup mentality with manufacturing focus in Silicon Valley.

Cons

I was looking for an intensive research and development (R&D) environment; ultimately market factors meant that manufacturing took precedence over R&D and engineering.
