Pros

The Employee Scholar Program is great.

Cons

Starting salaries are competitive, but raise pools are level with inflation. In most years, exceptional performers can expect raise differentiation of 2-3% over the raise pool. Engineers are "strongly encouraged" by management to work lots of uncompensated casual overtime and hours above 40 per week cannot be documented - which is illegal on government projects. Politics in many groups can be cutthroat - but that's true in many other companies. Staff turnover is high in comparison with other 2 companies where I've worked.

Pros

Decent pay and good benefits.

Cons

Personnel reporting to me had apparently looked up my political affiliation (which I had never mentioned) and took exception to it by sabotaging work that I had supervised. This was well before 2022 - actually 2015-2016 (2022 is earliest review date I could select). I was just now remembering it. This polarized political posture was a function of the plant being near Harrisburg, PA which, at least then, was a somewhat "redneckish" area. I have never discussed my politics at work, so it seemed absurd of them to look up my party affiliation and take issue with it.
