Pros

Excellent healthcare benefits (the best out of Puget Sound). Company matches $200 for every 20 hours you volunteer for an eligible nonprofit (does not include professional, religious or political associations, and pet shelters). On the professional side, bosses are more than willing to work through any scheduling issues at work with no problems. The work can be challenging and cutting edge, but you need to go out and seek that for yourself.

Cons

Parking is a doozy if you are working at the Everett plant and you can't really catch the bus from most areas either. A general feeling of job insecurity as more warn notices are issued and work moves out of Puget Sound.

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.
