I interviewed here, after stating my career rougher after college. Things have changed a lot, but they are still a large well paying firm. I was offered a position here, but they were a little slow in making me an offer, so I took a position somewhere else. I would still work there though.

Great location for engineering meetings and S&L has a rigorous quality review process. The newer engineers aren't so great but the old guys are still 5 stars. 4 stars is due to the less experienced folks who are not producing a superb quality product.
