Pros

Cons

Career advancement is glacial. You either have to wait until A) some one dies, B) some one retires, or C) you've reached your salary cap and the only way to give you a raise is to change your job title. Sometime the proverbial "right-hand" doesn't know what the left hand is doing also...

Pros

Knowledgeable engineers and technicians, great learning opportunities, good training

Cons

Not so much of a CON, but you get thrown into the fire as soon as you're hired. Very fast paced.

Pros

9/80 work schedule. Benefits are decent. One of the few comapnies that offer a pension in addition to 401k.

Cons

Too many management layers. Promotions seem to be based on who you know, and if you fit into the right "clique". Some promotions are being given to managers with no experience in the function. Executuve leadership appears out of touch with their employees. Example - Chaotic games have been played the last 3 years with remote and hybrid work policies.
