      Pros

      Great Way to Obtain experience in engineering while going to school. Ability to talk to really smart people and get perspective that school can't provide.

      Cons

      Slow work flow sometimes, especially when dealing with vendors, and other engineers overseas. Quality process is too slow.

      Pros

      The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

      Cons

      Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
