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

Great company and coworkers. People are very nice and friendly and the CEC is a nice place to work and the role has flexible hours.

Cons

There is a lot of work to be done so there's a lot of stress that comes with the role. There are times where you will have to work over 40 hours a week. Seems like work-life balance is not prioritized.
