Pros

Good benefits. Good work-life balance.

Cons

This company is guilty of "flavor of the month" strategy. They are a "wannabe" company. After over 100 years as a not for profit company, they made the decision to be a for profit company. However, they really don't have the goods to make them credible in that arena. Their competitors are better, faster and cheaper. As the economy gets better, I forecast that they will see an exodus of employees.

Pros

The work is interesting. Some decent travel is available if desired. If you work hard and set yourself apart from others you can earn a promotion.

Cons

It’s all about who you know. All responsibilities fall on Engineering. Engineering does much more than “engineer” and spend too much time on stuff that admin staff “should be able” to do. When something needs to change the usual solution is to have Engineers be responsible for it because many non-engineers can’t handle mediocre tasks.
