Pros

- Great experience - Opportunities to grow within company - Respected firm in the engineering community - Professional environment - Good pay - Encourage continuing education - Great benefits (free medical) - 401k (100% vested after 4 years) - overtime pay

Cons

Cons are more about the engineering profession as a whole and not really about the company. Just the way it is - Fast paced environment - Stressed out project managers; Project Managers can be rude at times - Last minute tasks/duties/deadlines that require you to work overtime with no heads up - At times, unrealistic deadlines; as a result, always at work. 10-12 hour work days are a norm.
