Pros

Nice, clean and recently updated facilities with big open windows. The grounds are nice, and they do a lot of testing in house, so there are many electrical experts on site.

Cons

There is a very strong culture of looking out for yourself to get ahead. High pressure to work long hours, and I always felt like management was walking around to make sure I was at my desk. Managers hogged all the face time with senior management whenever they were on site.

Pros

Excellent dedicated workforce of rank & file employees. Most have a very good attidude, and are welcoming to new workers. Very honest.

Cons

Management tends to take credit for the hard work employees and contract employees have done, even though it is known the reasons for that hard work being necessary was due to bad decisions by mangement. Contract employees MUST wear an orange vest, looking like a Cal-Trans worker, anytime on the premesis (a form of "this person is not one of US"). Very little chance of advancement.
