Pros

You can work on a lot of different projects, that can vary greatly in technologies. Maybe in 10 years the company will be a good enough one to work for. There's a nice park down the street...

Cons

Prepare to be treated as a body any nothing more. Leave your experience and knowledge at the door, because they don't care. Experience? Masters degrees? You won't be using any of that here. You will be drawing a lot of shapes in AutoCAD though. Also, get comfortable, because you'll be staying late, every day, forever. Well, that is until you realize what the company is really like and then leave. In 2016 alone +50% of the design group quit throughout the course of the year. We're talking +30 people here. That should tell you a few things. If you look at the reviews on this site, you see a very consistent story from the design positions. If you want to read the most accurate and eloquent depiction of the company on this site, read the review titled "This company needs a therapist." from this past summer. They go in detail to explain the fundamental structural issues with the company, and why you should stay clear.

Pros

Great coworkers. Cool projects. Interesting work.

Cons

Very low pay for demanding hours. Bare minimum benefits. Rigid, paternalistic managerial culture from the C-suite down. TAIT keeps buying our competitors so there’s nowhere else to work.
