Pros

Working as a project engineer you are exposed to lots of different companies where you could potential transition into a better paying job. You will become very familiar with products that you are reqested to evaluate.

Cons

The monthly expected project completion is hard to meet, when the pipeline of projects is not available. The lean staffing in sales and other departments makes it difficult to keep a steady flow of projects to complete. Also, this company has lots of lab locations that will be competing against each other for projects. This does not make for a healthy work structure.

Pros

Good group of people in local office.

Cons

Stuck in the past. Unwilling to consider updating methods or procedures. "We've done it this way for 30 years and it has worked." Sales relies upon project engineers to do most of their work for them. When volume of work is slow that becomes the engineers responsibility to go find new clients. Can't reliably pay the most basic of utility bills on time. I've seen the power cut off 2x and the gas this past winter.
