Pros

westinghouse is in a very interesting and unique industry. If you want to go nuclear, this is the best place to be for you. The compensation was decent, though the benefits are a little sub-par. Most managers were willing to work with you to make things flexible though from what i heard.

Cons

they're only in pittsburgh, and it's very hard to move between offices. I'll need to relocate eventually, which sucks because i like working here. The benefits are ok but not great. You pay a very small portion of health insurance, but retirement is goofy. For example, 401k vests over three years, which means your money isn't growing all that fast.

Great advancement opportunities. Management promotes advancement. Great amount of knowledge.

Cons

People are very much in their own click of friends and help out only each other. Some feel as though they are better than others in the Accounting fields
