Pros

Their manufacturing quality is high and there are many learning opportunities for young engineers. The electrical drawings are of high standard and will teach you to become meticulous in drawing creation. You will also become good with a red pen. If you have initiative as an engineer you will have opportunities to make tangible improvements to the engineering department... after-hours of course. Hardware engineers very rarely travel. The free coffee was always nice.

Cons

The volume of work that they expect you to output is unreasonably high. There's no formal training process and it can often feel like a sink or swim environment. They will tell you to ask if you have any questions which is coded language for being responsible for training yourself. It's an ineffective way to train. Attempts were being made to improve training, but no one was quite sure how to take it on. This all lead to situations where people were punished for not following processes they never told about in the first place. The software engineers travel more than advertised. Engineers are salaried without any of the benefits of being salaried. They expect you there 8 to 5 and expect you to use PTO for a lot of things that other campanies don't worry about. Their hardware engineers should be titled Electrical Design Engineers which commands a higher salary closer to Seattle. You will hopefully become better at communicating because information is often lost between the engineering and CAD department. This is an ongoing headache between the two departments. Mistakes made by engineers was seen by upper management as stupidity rather than a poor balance of workload and an underequipped engineering department. All the people I worked with were highly competent. Mistakes are bound to be made due to the high workload. There was also a very large amount of information that you had to just remember.

Pros

Everyone here is working towards the same goal of quality work. People are nice and helpful. The management has the company and workers as a priority and they seem to look out for people. If you have a family emergency the company responds as you would hope they would. They understand some things happen. If you have a bad attitude or work ethic, or you stir up drama this place is not for you.

Cons

It took me too long to realize you can't expect people to see everything extra you do, You have to advocate for yourself and make sure the people above know the extra stuff you do for yourself and others in your section such as making quick reference databases for past projects, and excel tools to simplify repetitive work. My particular hardware section can be a little stressful but as I have heard from others who left the company that stress is a given no matter where you go in the engineering world, There will always be a decent work load and some of that is time-sensitive. You have to scan through thousands of pages of PDFs and will practically live in an Excel sheet, save every email because customers are only human and forget project-altering conversations so CYA.
