Pros

There is great hands on experience. It will take a little while to pick up but there are plenty of resources to draw information from. Great place to pick up experience and gives a good stepping stone into a plant or rotating equipment position.

Cons

Pay is stagnant. Bonus is a 10% of base pay but only depends on how well the company is doing. Pay increases have to be fought for. They know it's a stepping stone job and expect you to find a better paying job with the experience you gain so there is no strong effort to keep employees. Sales seems to be the strong push after being an AE for 2-3 years. You have to leave your location to earn money.

Pros

A lot of good people working here.

Cons

Outsourcing too much design work to India and running with too little design and engineering staff in Kalamazoo. Quality is really suffering at the expense of speed. Nexus is a really poor PLM system. It has hurt productivity significantly and caused employees immense frustration.
