New Grads, Don't expect training, mentorship, or development. You wont get it here.
Pros
It is a consistent source of income. Nothing good to say about it beyond that.
Cons
In the interview they say you may have to put in more hours from time to time which is fine and expected, but after you're in they tell you they expect extra hours every week at least 10% that they'll never pay you for, even if you don't have the workload to justify it. No design work at all. They just purchase other people's products, throw them together and call it "engineering". Coming out of college you would expect experienced engineers to point you in the right direction, give you tasks so you can become familiar with the job, any kind of training or mentorship. They've done absolutely nothing to help me develop as an engineer. You can't just take initiative because you need to be brought in on projects and have authorization to do anything, but no one brings you in on anything because all they worry about is their own metrics and numbers. It's a complete waste of time for me to be here. I collect my check and continue searching for a job at any other company. The first three months I let it slide assuming they were just slow to bring new people in on projects. At a year in, I've gained literally nothing to show on my resume and management just keeps telling me "work is coming, as soon as the new programs get turned on". Don't waste your life at a company where engineers go to die.
