Pros

The pay is good and if you're not in CPE, you are probably treated better

Cons

Good ole boys run the show. Doesn't matter how well you do your job, if you disagree with good ole boys, you will NOT advance. My Team Manager was 73 and been there 40 years. There is a very hard worker and good man that works for him but he doesn't agree with the games they play, so the Team Manager is trying to get him fired. One lady he didn't like only got approved by him for 1 day bereavement for her husband's death. One lady he does like is off her job 6 hrs out of 12 smoking, sleeping, on the phone, or in dept her boyfriend works in. It's all about how well you suck up to him. The good employees suffer for it. Very sad

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.
