Pros

Good work-life balance. Decent salary for the area.

Cons

Office politics can be overwhelming. Salaries are not competitive when you remember Houston is only a few hours away which has caused us to become a place for new grad engineers to get their 2-3 years of experience and then go elsewhere.

Pros

Friendly, helpful colleagues. Vast variety of opportunities for engineers, especially younger ones. Actively supporting the communities where we live and work. Recent changes in management have restored positive outlook.

Cons

A lot of eggs are in the circular-economy basket rather than having the risk more evenly distributed among our product streams. We've lost a lot of talent recently to other businesses, partly because of unhappiness with former management but partly because of pay. Annual pay increases exist but have not even come close to keeping up with inflation.
