Pros

Good Benefits. Easy place to sit around and earn a paycheck without really contributing too much. Learning together program that provides the capability to further education is awesome. If you make a mistake, well you'll get another chance almost guaranteed.

Cons

Not challenging. Management is poor at best and flat out lies to its employees. Difficult to move up if under the age of 40. There are a ton of incompetant people who hold senior engineering and management positions. Inept people are put to the side instead of removed. It is a good old boys club that rewards its own and takes care of them. Directors comonly encourage the lower level managers to play political games instead of solving problems. There are double standards about how people are treated. People routinely ignore you when they don't like the answers they hear.

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.
