Pros

It will be an ok place for building experience.

Cons

Everything is bad. benefits are not even close to other same size of this company. I don't know about other building or manufacturing side, but in RD side of engineering is really toxic. all the Chinese and Vietnamese are mean and rule. they yell at me by F word. without scaring that got in trouble because they know no one can replace them in their positions. If you want looking for a kindly talk or speak, this is not the place. HR is their side, so not even bother to talk to them. You are hourly, but they will expect you work 24hours with an 8hours paid. Feel like not an America company, more like an Asian's type of company. REALLY TOXIC PLACE. so careful, try to calm down around the worst people of the world in here. you will make it.

Pros

Strong place to start your career. If you do the Fusion Program you will learn a lot. Good training and benefits. Amazing Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Coworkers are smart and grounded people.

Cons

Stingy with salary, raises, and promotions. The engineer roles are broken up into Jr and Senior so the title progression goes Engineer I, I Sr, II, II Sr, etc which slows career progression and pay. Only the CA office gets extra pay due to the expense of living there, even if the MA office is expensive.
