Pros

There are still some good projects to be had.

Cons

Incompetent engineers in higher level positions that got there by simply perfecting the art of rear smooching. Engineers that never led a are pushed as leaders, engineers that are not creative are pushed as "\innovators, engineers that have been there for many years with little accomplishments are promoted.

Pros

Great place to develop in a manufacturing environment. Plenty of projects available for improvement.

Cons

It can be all about the numbers at the end of the day, sometimes compromising the highest quality of the products. Rushing and long hours will develop plenty of inefficient reworking and lost potential. Business needs demands long hours inclusive of weekends for all departments involved with manufacturing.
