Stable, secure job! Learning a lot in niche projects

Very old school work environment (windowless cubicle farms). Resources spread thin so feeling very stressed as entry level engineer.

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
