Pros

The company is positioned well for long-term business; the culture is supportive of older workers; good benefits package

Cons

There is increasing bureauracy and impersonalization of operations that has shifted the dynamic from "Providing what is needed to get job done" to "Sorry, I'm following what the process says"

Pros

Good working environment Exciting projects Great coworkers (for the most part, like any place)

Cons

Like any maturing company, it has become more and more top-heavy, placing more and more emphasis on project management and milestones, sometimes over bread-and-butter engineering. I could have half the PMs I have now and do a better job
