Pros

Work is interesting and there is always room for innovation, so if you are a self starter you will enjoy it here. Alternate work arrangements such as 9/80, 4/10, and telecommuting help to get your work done while still having a life outside of work.

Cons

Nearly all engineers, including those with 30+ years of industry experience, completely disagree with the management style. Executive management see themselves as above all other employees, and seem to make decisions without considering the opinions of even the most experienced engineers. The general consensus is that executive management couldn't care less about keeping people employed.

The nuclear industry is a critical component of the global energy picture, especially when you consider the value of carbon-free baseload generation. The people at Westinghouse are continuing to develop the leading nuclear technology in the world.
