Plenty of Opportunities

Field service engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of opportunity, plethora of work, excellent travel benefits (hotel, airline, rental car, amex points), travel sometimes feels more like an all-expense-paid vacation. An excellent opportunity to travel across the country, and even the world. Pride in not contributing to any political campaigns, very ethics driven company.

Cons

Very long hours, corporate culture not to fire anybody, too metric driven, we are punished if the stock doesn't perform even if our sector is doing very well. If you're good, it's hard to move to another division because nobody wants to you to leave. Travel gets old very fast. Project managers set unrealistic expectations.

Pros

Good compensation. Great benefits. Competent teammates. Has a lot of potential.

Cons

Do more with less mentality. Developing from within is not valued. There isn't really a defined culture for employees to follow.
