Pros

Pay and benefits seem to be above or at average for skilled discipline engineering positions.

Cons

Work environments are highly political and competitive. Known issues with backstabbing / bullying. All positions are taxed heavily with responsibilities and expectations causing a very high stress work environment. Recent corporate push to reduce discipline engineering pay opportunities. Recent corporate downsizing cutting many job and limiting career advancement opportunities.
