Pros

A relatively stable company where the job can't easily be off-shored to India. The job can range from very exciting and fulfilling to mundane paper-work depending on where in a design stage or sustainability stage the program is. The pay is industry average but with the benefit package it becomes pretty great.

Cons

The vacation package is horrible. leadership does not have efficient foresight of future business needs. the work-force is aging rapidly and the tribal knowledge and core competencies are going out the door when they retire. no effective method of training and skill improvement.

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.
