Pros

Very flexible with shifting your schedule around to meet personal needs. Lots of PTO and good benefits and pay in my experience.

Cons

Management is basically only path for advancement. Openly hostile to software development: "We are not a software company". Bureaucratic in the extreme. So many shifting initiatives and jargon and synergistic nonsense. Management zombies trying to push this Koolaid. Suffers badly from diffusion of responsibility.

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.
