Pros

I found the position, people to be most rewarding. The compenstion was adequate as well as organized structure to include benefits, training, and business exposure.

Cons

The value of adequate engineering resources within the KPU, and field operations is a clear detractor. RIFs and the up and down customer market make it nerve wracking to know if one is going to be employed at any point in time.
