Pros
- Big, interesting projects - Well respected (looks good on resume)
Cons
- CPB does not value their current employees at all and would rather hire unproven engineers externally than promote experienced engineers from within - They expect you to give up your life for them and in return give you the bare minimum you need to survive - Pay is average. The only way to get a pay rise or promotion is to hand in your resignation, then they will suddenly promise you the world again - They are very tight on money. Most of our equipment (computers, cars, site specific gear) is incredibly outdated and barely does the job. It's very difficult to get anyone to let you spend money on replacing anything, no matter how desperate you are - Very low morale on most projects leading to a high turnover rate
