Pros

Excellent Health Benefits, but continue to be minimized over time. Use to be amazing products, but now it's more about territory of the more domineering Executive. I understand it's a business and profit is important, but it's become a DIRTY business, where Egos are important and not profit. So go there as a new hire and get your experience, then find or establish a company that values you and what you bring to the table.

Cons

If you're right out of college and have no expectations; this is a great place to work. You won't be disappointed when there are no opportunities for growth, or when you're downsized because you're too old or make too much money (According to the execs who make 10Xs as you and waste it on Executive Cafeterias that serve alcohol on the Company's nickel) and the Company wants to move your job to Oklahoma and give it to a new hire for a 10th of what you're making with no pension or retiree medical.

Pros

Fantastic benefits and work-life balance. 401k match is unmatched!

Cons

Easy to get pigeon-holed into a role. Try exploring ways to stay pro-active and do different things

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.
