If you get into the right Engineering Leadership Development program (the right location) then you’ll get great experience with rotating to different jobs, taking development classes and getting your free Masters.
Minpunten
My ELDP program had very limited rotations to select from and you could t find one outside of your immediate location. Also, working in a classified environment is no fun! No cell phone, sometimes no internet! Wry restricive. They also take a long time to promote. It seems like they go through staff reductions every few years as well. Management is pretty bad there as well. There are many many layers of useless managers. Here also isn’t a clear track to the higher up positions. Th pay is also not brynorofictive unless you’re experienced coming from the outside into a higher up role. The yearly bonus system is a joke and your salary won’t move very much in th average year. This was from the King of Prussia area so maybe it’s better elsewhere!
