Vantaggi

Good experience, enjoyable work. They treat their employees pretty well (that is, assuming you can get a full time position there...) Pay is pretty high for an intern, which definitely beats flipping burgers... The best part is that they are very close the Michigan Technological University campus, which means you can work there and take classes at the same time. Coops are easier because you don't have to relocate, and you can even take classes along with the 40hrs a week work. They do have a really good program set up here, which may be expanding to other cities as well.

Svantaggi

Poor attempt to standardize the software utilities (most of which were much less useful than many of the freeware applications out there). Most of their applications that are sanctioned by the company that the employees are allowed to use do not work very well and take some getting used to (and lowering of expectations). Difficult to get into the company as a full time employee, even as an intern of several years, they seem to like contracting in workers (which is cheaper than hiring them themselves...) They like to send work out of the country (as so it can be done more cheaply, of course...)

Vantaggi

The engineers who work hard and take themselves seriously are still working here and are great to collaborate with and solve problems. The projects are interesting, as long as your manager is considering your interests and career path. There are ample opportunities in commercial and military, with the commercial being more of a remote/Teams environment and military being more in person. Bonus structure is strong, 15%. Incentive pay for coming to work. Work life balance mostly depends on the job you sign up for.

Svantaggi

Managers may not have come up through the engineering ranks and so they may not understand us. They focus more on process, like Flight Deck, than having actual knowledge to solve problems. The technical expertise in the sub section and especially section level has gone down in the last 5-10 years. This less technical management class seems to be impacting engineering turnover among the IC’s. Additionally, constant pivots, often due to inconsistent funding, also decrease morale. Lastly, it’s possible your manager doesn’t care as much about your career as they do just getting tasks done / covering the bases. Basically non-existent health care (very high premium and deductible for larger families). Biased hiring through Next Engineers.
