Pros

Flexible Schedule. Travel is available depending on the industry you work in. Reasonably comfortable environment. Facility has health/fitness room and grounds have walking paths and various courts. Cafeteria food is not that bad so no need to leave campus everyday for lunch unless you want to get out offsite for a break.

Cons

Company preaches pay for performance but does not reward. Low pay for experience. As a senior member of the engineering staff I feel I have a target on my back as one of the "higher paid" salary staff even though my salary is low compared to other companies in the Chicago area based on my experience level.

Pros

The work is interesting. Some decent travel is available if desired. If you work hard and set yourself apart from others you can earn a promotion.

Cons

It’s all about who you know. All responsibilities fall on Engineering. Engineering does much more than “engineer” and spend too much time on stuff that admin staff “should be able” to do. When something needs to change the usual solution is to have Engineers be responsible for it because many non-engineers can’t handle mediocre tasks.
