Pros

Great vacation Great health insurance Travel opportunities If you get in the right field, you can get a lot of experience in a short amount of time. Many employees left after 3 to 10 years and got highly paid and prestigious careers.

Cons

Management does not care about you Management forces you to work long hour Minimum raises If you are not part of the boys club you are treated poorly I was not on a Visa, but if you are they abuse you. I even had an employee ask me to hire someone in college as a technician and then once he graduates send him to one of the California labs so they could "abuse the hell out of him" as an engineer. Pressed to complete a lot of work in a short time with little emphasis on quality

Pros

Good group of people in local office.

Cons

Stuck in the past. Unwilling to consider updating methods or procedures. "We've done it this way for 30 years and it has worked." Sales relies upon project engineers to do most of their work for them. When volume of work is slow that becomes the engineers responsibility to go find new clients. Can't reliably pay the most basic of utility bills on time. I've seen the power cut off 2x and the gas this past winter.
