Pros

Good schedule, 9/80. Pay is good. Opportunity to move around in company, not necessarily move up though. Benefits are excellent, except they don't offer the pension plan anymore. Great comaraderie with co-workers.

Cons

Company is privately owned, therefore nepotism is everywhere. Incompetent employees are protected because of this. A lot of bureaucracies, polictics and favortism. It's all about who you know and not making waves amonst management. Follow the chain of command, even if it's not the "right thing". Alot of people don't feel comfortable speaking up for wrong doings. Because it is a good job with good benefits, employees have learned to turn a blind eye, and hush their opinions.

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
