Pros

Great opportunities within the company for advancement. Employees are very proud of the work that they do and the products they create. Great place to start an engineering career. Great entry-level pay rates with decent benefits package. Plus you get to work on some of the most innovative, cutting edge projects on the planet.

Cons

It's sometimes easy to get lost within the company, since it is so large. Pay starts out very good, but raises are not competitive compared to the rest of the industry. Therefore the lack of raises do not keep experienced employees around for very long. Some of the processes are archaic.

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.
