Not a place to grow fast, but great for work/life balance.

Senior systems engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

If in the right position, you may significantly grow technical skills that one is not able to do elsewhere. You have the opportunity to work with and think about technology that is knowledge limited. You have a decently stable position that one can grow a family and have a decent work/life balance.

Cons

This is a knock at the industry and not the company. The hierarchy is strictly structured like that of government bodies, making it harder for engineers to advance their career as it is in other industries. The pay is not as generous either as other industries, but is a payoff to its stability.

Pros

Benefits, pay for higher level of education.

Cons

No continuity for changes of position. Company is growing at a rapid pace but transition of informtion is not well thought out from a work load and training of new employees.

Business Outlook

Pros

Working with very technically competent people on advanced technology.

Cons

Poor support of training opportunities when the company will be paying for it. Merit raises are almost an insult given the rate of inflation. Merit raises for high performers should at least help improve the life of the person who is bringing value to the company.
