Business Outlook

Pros

Pay is good. Work is not too difficult, good people. Facilities are great.

Cons

Typical large corporate environment that has too many managers and very much a hierarchy. So many sites around US that seem to fight over control on key issues. This leads to some power struggles and many who don't have a good work/life balance. Challenging work. Room to grow if you put in the extra time at your desk if you desire that.

Business Outlook

Pros

Close proximity to home. Very nice building & facilities. Close to Rt 93, easy to access

Cons

Very political, especially among middle managers. Personal advancement frequently not related to merit. Decisions often favor internal goals and needs, not customer needs. It is a European company so you have to get used to an autocratic management.

Business Outlook

Pros

The work/life balance is well-managed; one can have outside hobbies and free time while working there. The natures of the projects worked on lends themselves to be interesting. My direct report was always very eager to provide whatever support he could, in terms of project direction and additional reasources.

Cons

Compensation is far below what it should be, at least for engineers. Also, at times, there is a decided lack of a feeling of cohesiveness or direction from upper level management. Other business groups also have strong opinions on product directions that are often misguided.
