Pros

I am employed for now.

Cons

1-2% raise every year for 10 years, and I am a high performer.

No advancement.

Younger engineers, stay away. You are a glorified technician; you will only integrate evaluation boards from semiconductor vendors. After 10 years in this environment, you will have very few marketable skills.

Schedules are so tight that they will never let you design a damn thing.

Advice to Management

You put in all these initiatives, and nothing ever changes.

Perhaps our managers tell upper management that they are implementing when they are actually not.

Visit the different sites and talk to the engineers, not the managers.
