Pros

Good pay and benefites. There is nothing else positive to mention.

Cons

Unbelievably poor organization and no effective communication between managers and employees. Senior management is shockingly arrogant and completely removed from the real problems in their programs. The culture protects managers who violate ethical standards and those that are simply incompetent. Most employees do as little as possible, try to stay off the radar, and hope to hang on until retirement. If you show any willingness to work you will be crushed under the weight of the tasks pushed off on you. My last manager was by far the least effective and most corrupt man I have seen in over 25 years of professional experience. The few good managers in place are too overwhelmed or simply too afraid to challenge the status quo.

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.
