Pros

Fantastically helpful and competent colleagues. Lots of opportunities, especially if you like to travel. Good onboarding and development for young engineers in some organizations. Reasonable work hours in my current organization. Specific to Kingsport, TN: beautiful natural surroundings, lots of outdoor activities available, friendly neighbors, good schools, sensible government, low cost of living, Fun Fest (look it up).

Cons

The engineering organization is transforming to be more focused on large capital projects. We're not sure what's going to happen to day-to-day plant support for this 100-year-old facility. Depending what happens, I may look elsewhere even though this has previously been a great place to work.

Pros

Friendly, helpful colleagues. Vast variety of opportunities for engineers, especially younger ones. Actively supporting the communities where we live and work. Recent changes in management have restored positive outlook.

Cons

A lot of eggs are in the circular-economy basket rather than having the risk more evenly distributed among our product streams. We've lost a lot of talent recently to other businesses, partly because of unhappiness with former management but partly because of pay. Annual pay increases exist but have not even come close to keeping up with inflation.
