Slow internship with minimal work but good enviornment

Electrical Engineering Co-Op (Former Employee)
Shelton, CT (US)

I worked at Pitney Bowes as an intern for less than a year

ProsFriendly environment, small teams that cared about each other, non cut throat and good work life balance as they will not be forcing you to work more than 40 hours a week unless it is absolutely necessary.

ConsEngineering department is slowing down, less and less work for engineers to do, very few opportunities for young engineers with the lay offs also creating a nervous environment as who is going to be next.

Advice to Senior ManagementFind a way to attract young engineers and figure out how to get work for the ones there, as currently it is slow and the engineers are a bit discouraged about what they are going to be doing.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company
