Pros
Exposure to numerous pieces of automation technology and how to integrate them into a functional system.
Smart engineers (some too smart for the type of work they're doing) who share information and mentor younger engineers with their projects.
Cons
20-30% travel is a lie. It's typically 40%+ for any given quarter, where 16+ hour days are the usual day after day for 5-10 days, 2 days off and repeat. Then there's the holidays you work on sites and in filthy conditions.
Engineers are not compensated accordingly with the amount of work they perform. Not financially, not with 1:1 time in/time off, no certificates of appreciation and not even lip service thanking you.
Management doesn't care IS the problem. HK Systems (now owned by Dematic) is NOT an engineering firm that integrates systems. Instead HK Systems is a sales company selling things where any and all engineering is an afterthought. "Sell it and then worry about making it" is the company motto. As long as the higher ups and sales people get theirs they just dump all the issues on engineering and don't compensate them for the trouble.
