Overall a good place to work, but smaller, younger companies would likely be more interesting for a younger employee.

Engineering intern

Business Outlook

Pros

Stable products lines, employment usually shows this, although not recently. Good pay (I was an engineering intern), the ability to work on a variety of projects. Performance reviews were almost non existent, usually just a 'thanks'. Given my position, I guess that was satisfactory. The truck division has been developing some new products lately (hybrids and the like). If you can stay involved with the new projects, it can be very interesting.

Cons

Most of their work is maintaining existing product lines. Great if you want a stable job, but not all that exciting. Not exactly at the forefront of business culture or technology.
