Pros

Good technical challenges to solve. Benefits, time off (sick and vacation) and retirement matching plan. Some of the best technical people to work with.

Cons

People work on projects and once you are done, it is your responsibility to find another one. There is poor growth for people with Masters and Bachelors. The criteria for promotions are vague, arbitrary and changing. There are employees who have spent their entire careers (>30 years) doing the same job.

Pros

Interesting work, good colleagues, company is supportive and there is good work/life balance. There are leadership opportunities for those to want them. Pay is competitive.

Cons

Raises haven't kept up with inflation. It's hard to break in as a new employee. There is a lot of change, mostly for the better but a lot of change.
