Pros

There are some pros. You get to do some international travel. You get to work close to the hardware you're actually working on. Salary is very fair. Would be an okay place to do manufacturing or manufacturing engineering.

Cons

Very frustrating place to work as a design engineer for gas turbines. Sloppy engineering abounds. Design decisions are made based on corporate politics, not on what's best for the company or for the engine. Culture of poor quality. Career opportunities in Charlotte are very limited.

Pros

Competitive pay, flex vacation/ PTO

Cons

Organizational restructuring seems more frequent than other companies I’ve worked for. Constant changes in processes. In four years I’ve seen change in incentive plan twice and not for the better even though they’ll tell you it is. You can make great money in sales still. Corporate alignment of rollouts of product timeline v. actual reality in the area level.
