Pros

This is a good company with great assets. Most employees want to do well but are constrained by a bureaucratic culture created by an detrimental organizational structure that builds kingdoms and hinders real progress.

Cons

Seemingly constant reorganizations driven by a few bad apples have completely undermined this company, particularly in IT and OE. A few unqualified, egotistical and power grabbing leaders have created levels of bureaucracy only rivaled by the government. The wrong people making decisions with the wrong motivation results in poor decisions and leader emboldenment. Which results in an ineffective organization. The current organizational structure cannot succeed.

Pros

A very friendly and collaborative work environment - from early career engineers to high level directors.

Cons

Your intern work experience can vary depending on who your supervisor is or what group you are in. I had less "meaningful" work to show for at the end of my term as my supervisor was not very present.
