Pros

Interesting projects. San Diego central location hard to beat. Social events. Standard benefits. Moderate level of people diversity. Small company feeling.

Cons

Terrible new employee onboarding. Very disorganized structure. The more experienced and knowledgeable people don't care for junior associates. High turnaround for engineers. Bad place to start your career as an electrical controls engineer or other disciplines. Pay and benefits not competitive. Management didn't seem to know how to best utilize manpower as project assignments were not properly distributed to the right/capable engineers. Old school senior engineers not willing to pass on their knowledge to juniors. Controls department was such a disappointment in general, it's been the worst experience in my 10+ career as a Controls Engineer.

Pros

Nothing to say here. only pros they have good connection with biotech companies in San Diego area and starts losing project due to the lack of organization

Cons

old school management hire up managements are all white and racist no one has actually a college degree. Just a punch of Forman running a company without any plans how to improve and many engineers in the I&C department quit due to the poor management.
