Pros

you work on some cool things, can learn a lot work life balance, good benefits some of the people you work with care a lot

Cons

morale was extremely low the 10 years I worked there. No training, and often thrown into the deep end on many projects that were on fire due to mismanagement. so so so so much bureaucracy Lots of visions, statements, codes, mottos, workshops, whatever - but very little actually changed day-to-day except that your co-workers might disappear due to lay-offs or your job might move to another state.

Pros

Easy going, nice benefits, free further education (masters/PhD). Great for an engineer starting out who needs to dip their feet in the pool of engineering for a few years and to get a great 401(k) match at the start of your career (compounding growth). Great for late stage career due to the benefits and solid enough pay in a low cost of living area

Cons

pay-scale lagging, no emphasis on learning new things, no punishment for people who are bad at their job. After working for 4 years, I feel like I should have jumped ship after 2. I haven't been given meaningful work that really challenges me in a while. Now I feel pigeonholed into staying because I have enough years of experience that I really should be considered senior, but I haven't been given work that reflects what I senior engineer should be capable of. Now I'm trying to jump ship before it's really too late. If I stay here another 2 years I think I will be genuinely unemployable and will have to stay at this company forever.
