Pros

Amazing Benefits Paid overtime Work/life balance Easy mobility once you get your foot in the door

Cons

As an Industrial Engineer, you have little control of making actual process improvements when it comes to the bigger action items. Having to leap through management hoops to get action items accomplished becomes daunting and takes a lot of time. A simple task/change can take 6 months just because you're waiting for someone to approve or sign off.

Pros

It is very easy to tell if you mess up. That is how you become a better engineer; by fixing the mistakes you make on your first attempts.

Management is out of tune with environment. Many of the managers are not very strong technically and usually just jump on the bandwagon.
