If you're not an Engineer, you're a nobody

Pros

Travel, good benefits, they end the day you are laid off.

Cons

If you're not an engineer, you're disposable and you don't get any respect or recoginition. They don't do any in-house training or suggest outside training for those who become managers on "how to manage others". They don't know how to do anything other than the "good old boy" way. Very European and dismissive. No consideration of one's personal life.

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent pay and OK overtime, flexible hours, great technical resource structure and mentoring, technically challenging projects, good in-house training program, good health insurance, weirdly generous spot bonus program.

Cons

- Ruthless cost-cutting management structure which is low road and rewards quantity over quality both in project and personnel. - Favoritism is rampant and highly encouraged and has nothing to do with talent (worse in some offices). - Corporate management via pre-recorded video. - Tuition reimbursement policy is a Joke. - Very high turnover environment

Work schedule is flexible most of the time, upper management is very supportive of taking time for yourself as long as you're getting your work done, the work is generally not challenging, occasional field work is usually fun

Cons

Pay is unsatisfactory, opportunities for advancement are bureaucratic and regimented, little to no reward for doing a good job, work isn't challenging
