Good company to start your engineering career, but move on after you complete your company-funded Masters degree.

Business Outlook

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.
