Pros

Good perks to travel when required with all expenses paid meal allowance. Invaluable international experience gained along with development in skills such as teamwork and troubleshooting.

Cons

Depending on role, daily tasks can get repetitive. Paperwork is tedious but necessary to covers any mistakes on own behalf.

Pros

Some talented and devoted staff members; smart and dedicated engineers and committed volunteers.

Cons

Upper Management is so pre-occupied with (ever-changing) "strategy", that it doesn't address ongoing systemic issues like dead-weight employees and problem managers promoted well above their competence and temperaments.

Pros

* Generous pay (for nonprofit), benefits and professional development. * Good work/life balance. Very few employees stay even 30 minutes past 5 p.m. Consequently turn-over is low and many loyal employees never leave...for better and for worse. * The Society's mission and ability to make a difference. * Ideal work environment for those with a "go with the flow" (vs. "go getter") attitude, who value process and rules over results, are male and/or mechanical engineers.

Cons

* Too many meetings for meeting sake. * Mastery of playing politics is rewarded over mastery of one's discipline area and job effectiveness. * Expertise is not appreciated. Group think rules. Too many projects are built and managed by committee so ultimately no ONE ever takes responsibility or is blamed, publicly anyway. * The CYA culture. ASME is a "good old boys" network with lots of cronyism and relatively few non-ME women high-level execs. Cronyism starts at the top, with a misogynistic and paranoid ED.
