Pros

Very good place to work. There are a lot of technical challenges for engineers, people are nice to work with and have very good benefits. One of the best companies I have ever worked for. Management tries to listen. I thought I would be there for more than 2 years but that did not happen.

Cons

WARNING: 2 Lay-offs in 6 months. Makes you uneasy about your job. Internal Control Drawings are a mess. Company acts like a "Start-up". My Job title was never corrected. My new manager had never managed a Component Engineer before or knows the needed skill sets and issues. HUGE mistake laying off the only Component Engineer (Phoenix). Design Engineers can't do this job and fail at it. Management thinks they can do with out it. Could be setting up for a buy out or take-over. Not sure why they loose contracts.

Pros

Great time off, schedule flexibility like 9/80, company shut down at end of year, caring coworkers, lots of resources, benefit add ons are great like pet insurance! They have a student loan company match program and tuition reimbursement. They seem to promote from within a lot too which is refreshing.

Cons

Spread out amongst lots of states East coast and West coast. Sometimes can make collaborating hard but the make it work well!
