Vantaggi
Pretty laid back, low stress, and a fun environment. Management tries to prepare new employees and make everyone feel at home. Many experienced engineers with 20+ years in the industry to mentor the inexperienced engineers. Opportunities to advance and try all disciplines in the gas turbine industry (design / structures /heat transfer / project). The biggest draw in to Agilis is that you will often work many different projects whereas larger corporations will stick you in one area for your entire career (i.e. "compressor blades"). They also have good vacation time(16 days + 8 holidays) for new employees.
Svantaggi
If you get stuck doing non conformance work your opinion on Agilis could change dramatically. Its difficult for those guys to get noticed and get out to do quality work. Typically those with a high work ethic will find a way. The other drawback is pay. Agilis pays about the average for new engineers, but the yearly raises do not measure up and do not compensate for inflation even. Unfortunately many people leave because competitors are willing to pay experienced engineers what Agilis will not.
