Pros

Employees are friendly. 401k is good - if you can make it past a year, otherwise don't bother contributing. Can gain good experience in a very specialized field. Company has a 5 year plan for growth.

Cons

They burn through engineers. Expect too many hours for too little pay - don't complain about losing tribal knowledge when you don't compensate appropriately nor give proper guidance about such knowledge to newcomers. Very top heavy organization which leaves not much left for everybody else, very expensive health insurance. Bonus structure for the little people is less than a C note for each year of service, do the math - this does not create motivation, nor a reason to be a go-getter. Small company with people in key positions for 20+ years with 20 years left to go until retirement = no upward mobility. Specialized knowledge can pigeon hole a career locally if your in it too long.

Pros

Outstanding leadership team with great vision and proven growth over the past 5 years. Everyone is treated with respect and fosters a true team environment. A lot of great employee functions.

Cons

Relatively limited staffing in certain areas can at times lead to delays in getting projects and tasks done. Many employees wear multiple hats, but this is also a good thing in many ways. As with any small organization, somewhat limited upward mobility.

Pros

- Engineering is run by experienced, technically competent people. - General sense of collaboration & trust among engineers. - Lots of good work experience and interesting projects. - Excellent place to learn by doing. - Management invests in the company & facilities in a noticeable way. - Much more nimble operation than larger engineering firms, minimal bureaucracy.

Cons

- Small company means little specialization. Often spread too thin trying to do too many jobs. - Benefits are not great, Vacation time is a tough sell. - Can feel like a dead end. Easy to develop your talents, hard to see how it will pay off.
