Pros

Reasonable salaries for entry level engineers. Flexible with comp time when traveling over the weekends.

Cons

Typically given VERY little advanced notice for international travel. (2 days -14 days advance notice). Upper management does not listen to sound engineering advice provided by the experts they hired. Direct managers are expected to manage 5-15 employees and also manage customers that their employees are responsible for. This leads to VERY POOR managing of the employees. It is a shame.

Pros

I still have a job, pay is okay - not great, and there are a few good people who still work for the company.

Cons

If you have any self respect, just don’t work here. There are so few managers who care that it’s not worth it. Apollo/upper management ruined everything.
