Pros

Great environment and challanging work. The projects worked on are not just busy work. After the first few weeks placement into top priority projects is what makes this job worth while. The knowledge gained and skills used help to prepare you for graduation.

Cons

Starting off can be a little difficult as with any job. The amount of information needed to become comfortable with what is happening around you is enormous as expected with a large engineering firm. However taken one project/task at a time it is manageable.

Pros

Great immediate supervisor and their boss. Made top-down communications tolerable. Great co-workers and great collaboration that lifted the entire team.

Cons

(1) RIF based on tenure, not performance. HR is too powerful a department, and everyone fears it. (2) Tenure made you lazy, killed creativity, initiative, and promoted a "yes" culture. (3) During COVID layoffs, CEO pay went from $3.7 million to $15.x million, while employees endured 25% furloughs for 3 months, and management 10% reduction in pay for 6 months - explain how that is reasonable. (4) CEO declared DEI as the way forward for career mobility, and a lot of young, promising talent walked out the door, including DEI-qualified minorities. (5) I was one of those minorities.
