perpetually understaffed, cliques push new hires to isolation, nepotism leads to an extreme lack of accountability for unsafe work practices, this will put you in danger if you work hands on with the tools. Turnover rate is huge for this position for good reasons.

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.
