Pros

Great benefits with 4 weeks of PTO from the start. Nice office environment layout. My immediate supervisor, Alex M, was/is an amazing positive individual that trained, motivated and inspired others, if he was the decision maker the company would double. I would recommend this company to a friend if he/she needed to learn more experience in Clean Room ventilation systems design.

Cons

I'm not sure how it's now, but when I worked there, the company was in a constant acquisition changing ownership hands. Upper management fearing new takeovers enforced unrealistic schedule deadlines. This created unstable, insecure work environment and confused mismanaged sense of direction. Due to unrealistic schedules, always required to work mandatory overtime 50+hr/weeks and some weekends. Work/life was off balance.
