Pros

- Company benefits are unmatched - 401K specifically is very generous - Very well-recognized brand, great resume builder - Compensation is great, regular salary adjustments and bonuses depending on company performance - Good place to start your career - Company is huge, so there is lots of opportunity

Cons

- Difficult to move up and around unless you're willing to relocate - Management varies from group to group and sets the tone for the organization; if you have a bad manager/senior management, then you're going to have a terrible time - Toxic culture comes from poor management; lots of internal 'reorg's - Bad people are promoted, which also creates resentment

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.
