Pros

- Great safety culture - Great Mobility opportunities - Good Opportunities for advancement - For Entry Level Engineers, it is a great way to move up the Ladder fast.

Cons

- Because it's such a big company, bureaucracy is rampant, and it takes too long for decisions to get implemented - Very little transparency between Senior Management and its field population.

Pros

Great opportunities for advancement if you have an engineering degree. Nearly all the negative reviews here are people who have worked in the field. Granted, the field is extremely tough, but life is totally different at a technology center, where everyone works 8 a.m. to 5. For the most part, management is very open and respective to its employees. Your immediate report, (e.g Product Line Manager) will often be your best friend. Middle and senior management is another story.

Cons

If you don't have an engineering degree, opportunities are limited. You have to carve out a niche and be prepared to defend your value to the company.
