Pros

1. Working with great people -- smart, competent, nice, interesting -- I really like my coworkers as people and collaborators. 2. Project-style work means that it always varies and doesn't get old. 3. Opportunity to be promoted at any time with structured reviews each month -- you can make a lot of your development. 4. Medium- to small-company vibes, you can still have an impact on some company decisions. 5. Great vacation, no weekends working (5 weeks)

Cons

If you don't want to travel, don't do this job. It can be fun and exciting to go new places, but if it doesn't sound fun to you from day 1, look elsewhere. Travel decreases at more senior levels, but is very significant the first 6+ years. Company has been going through a transition period with a larger staff and lower utilization -- this has created new challenges that have taken some time to be addressed. Main impact is that many people were not consistently on a project, leading to lower pay (bonus tied to site days) and slower development. As the company has grown, there has been some challenge figuring out how to communicate to a larger group and there is some junior-senior divide that is larger than before. As a relatively small company, swings in hiring, attrition, and projects can have a large impact on the team.

Pros

Excessive travel, if that’s a goal for you.

Cons

The company is truly out of touch. They subject experienced engineers to a graduate level application process, losing the most valuable talent in the industry. This creates a culture of inexperienced, post-graduate engineers with excessive re-work and competitive dynamics. If they conducted a normal application process, they would acquire those that have been in the industry with a proven track record of solving complex manufacturing problems. There is extreme and unsafe pressure with all work due to their failure in proper hiring. There is a slave-like culture that starts from the application process. They look to verify how much you can handle under extreme pressure, which is not a measure of any true engineer skills, in any way. As an engineer with experience from other companies, I confidently condemn this company as out of touch and unsafe for true engineers. If you want to be treated poorly and overworked with management grasping to unrealistic timelines and projects, work here. For true engineers that value thoughtful approach and complex problem solving with actual support, look elsewhere.
