Pros

Lower workload compared to other engineering jobs, slightly above average engineering salary out of college, excellent work/life balance, often relaxed atmosphere and coworkers

Cons

Recent layoffs, often unchallenging and nontechnical work, constantly inundated with procedures, very low opportunity for career growth, and severe lack of any sort of meritocracy.

Pros

The employees at Westinghouse are talented, intelligent, and great to work with. The compensation package meets the market conditions, if not exceeds it at certain levels.

Cons

The company is in a state of flux, which is simply a reflection of the industry in general. The room for career growth within the next few years is minimal, particularly for the Engineer/Sr Engineer levels.

Just like the comic strip Dilbert

Pros

Flexible work week. Actually has a pension. Provides an additional 2 "floating holidays" per year that are nice. The work itself is challenging and resume as well as confidence building.

Cons

Its like working for the same company Dilbert does. Forecasts are never right, disconnect between levels in the company is massive and once in a job, getting even a lateral move is unnecessarily difficult. Lacks transparency- layoffs occurred at our site with no notice, nor any notification our co-workers were gone.
