Pros

Lots of really good smart people among the rank and file employees and decent benefits

Cons

Zero work-life balance. Lots of ego-driven political players with zero people skills get promoted into management and then are supported by their higher ups and HR despite obvious problems like high team turnover and ethics and HR issues. There are few good managers who are decent leaders, but they are getting harder and harder to find. Mostly management is either completely out of touch or worse completely fear-driven reactionary micro-managers who stifle talent, intelligence, and creativity in favor of just wanting employees who follow their orders. The November 20th, 2019 article in The Atlantic "The Long-Forgotten Flight That Sent Boeing Off Course" is spot on - profits over people.

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.
