Pros

I get to solve complex engineering issues with some of the most motivated and genuine people I've ever met. I enjoy coming to work every day, and appreciate how there are pretty much no barriers between us and management.

Cons

Can't really think of any cons. You'll see a lot of complaints that the base salary is 'below market value' but I feel that the overall compensation package is well worth it.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great work atmosphere and culture within ELP. Ability to take on almost unlimited projects with every department in the company.

Cons

Management is not as transparent as it should be. If you are not pushed up, you are pushed out over time. Essentially an extended internship that boosts you to your next actual entry level job.
