Pros

Benefits, Benefits, Benefits. My spouse and I obtained our Graduate Degrees 100% financed by the company's education program, not to mention several other training classes and certificates. Another great benefit is the ability to try out different careers within the company. It is such a big company that you can try jobs from different arenas, not only engineering and manufacturing.

Cons

The corporate culture is conservative and risk-averse to say the least. So if you are trying to change the status quo, it can be done but the results of your efforts will not be seen for a long time to come and that can be very discouraging. It takes a long time for decisions to be made mostly because teams and individuals are not empowered to make changes. There is not a vehicle for individuals to make their contributions known, suggest new ways, collaborate in resolving issues, without getting caught up on a huge bureaucratic mess.

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.
