Pros

None. However, their HR department goes on these job boards to post fake good reviews - don't be fooled.

Cons

Too many to list, but you should avoid this toxic place more than a nuclear spill.

Pros

I made a fair wage for the first year and a half.

Cons

Sadly, there is nobody in management to step up and stop an HR department that is out of control or maybe they support this effort to get the employees to quit. I worked on the China project and recently HR decided that they could save money by cutting the living allowance by 70% and making the dependents fly economy class instead of business. When workers threatened to walk, management claimed that they couldn't change the HR policy but would adjust the retention bonuses to make up for it. This hush money quieted most of the discontent but one person who refused to withdraw his protest letter was denied the money and then they said that he didn't finish his contract so they didn't have to demob him. I give it 6 months max before the Chinese kick Westinghouse to the curb for failure to complete.

Pros

It pays your bills, looks nice on CV and is a big and stable company. So far.

Cons

Incompetent management. No leadership. No vision. No energy. No drive. Managers are constantly on the lookout to offend you with the newest and most ridiculous procedure. Management's vision of safety is putting yellow stickers everywhere saying "Be careful." Any technical competence is a serious disadvantage here. Just learn to agree with enough powerful managers, chant buzzwords and stricty adhere to all nonsense procedures (happy clap every time you get a new one.) The company still lives today from days of past glory.
