Pros

Pay, location, and the benefits are decent. Some flexibility in work hours. The company has the potential to be be a decent company. Time will tell.

Cons

Absolute archaic and dysfunctional management. The company succeeds due to the ability of key employees to work around the system. Rule by fiefdoms. Very little room for professional growth.

Pros

Knowledgeable engineers and technicians, great learning opportunities, good training

Cons

Not so much of a CON, but you get thrown into the fire as soon as you're hired. Very fast paced.

Pros

9/80 work schedule. Benefits are decent. One of the few comapnies that offer a pension in addition to 401k.

Cons

Too many management layers. Promotions seem to be based on who you know, and if you fit into the right "clique". Some promotions are being given to managers with no experience in the function. Executuve leadership appears out of touch with their employees. Example - Chaotic games have been played the last 3 years with remote and hybrid work policies.
