Pros

Compensation is competitive for similar engineering fields. Benefits are reasonable, work environment is challenging, and the company is growing internationally.

Cons

There is a lack of mentors with proper technical background in order to help the young engineers. The company organization is often lax in documentation and personnel.

Pros

There are a lot of opportunities for technical employees - engineers, software analysts, information technology, drafting and design, quality - and for business oriented employees - project managers, communications experts and marketing managers. There are also a lot of opportunities for support personnel, such as staff assistants, administrative support, technical support, and interns. Westinghouse is growing and innovating - FAST! - and because of that, there are opportunities to travel around the world, work on interesting and challenging projects, and move up in your career. Nuclear power is getting a lot more support, and it's making the company have a lot more to offer.

Cons

Westinghouse has a lot of benefits, but it is still working on handling all of the change that has been happening and the incredible growth the company has gone through in the past couple of years. Nuclear is a challenging field to work in, and there are a lot of people competing for the jobs that open up. One area in which Westinghouse still needs a lot of work is in development and improvement for their administrative support, since it is such a seriously technical company and there is a major focus on the technical employee improvement that it seems the other careers get a little lost.
