Pros

Good healthcare and 401K benefits. There is an opportunity for a flexible work schedule depending on manager. Competitive entry level pay.

Cons

Just a cog in the machine of a giant corporation. Companies like this historically took care of employees to ensure retention - this is going away however (pensions, etc.). There is little incentive to stay with the company for long. Raises are difficult to come by, and your compensation/bonus is completely unrelated to your performance. There is not incentive to do anything more than mediocre work.

Pros

Easy going, nice benefits, free further education (masters/PhD). Great for an engineer starting out who needs to dip their feet in the pool of engineering for a few years and to get a great 401(k) match at the start of your career (compounding growth). Great for late stage career due to the benefits and solid enough pay in a low cost of living area

Cons

pay-scale lagging, no emphasis on learning new things, no punishment for people who are bad at their job. After working for 4 years, I feel like I should have jumped ship after 2. I haven't been given meaningful work that really challenges me in a while. Now I feel pigeonholed into staying because I have enough years of experience that I really should be considered senior, but I haven't been given work that reflects what I senior engineer should be capable of. Now I'm trying to jump ship before it's really too late. If I stay here another 2 years I think I will be genuinely unemployable and will have to stay at this company forever.
