Pros

Good benefits program for interns.

Cons

They allow their managers to lie to their interns. They can tell you that they will let you come back to the company without any complaints. Then they are allowed to change their minds and bring up things that were never addressed to you when asked by HR. The only way you get promoted is if you spend practically your whole life at the company. Company culture is very old and not attractive to younger people. They have managers that don't encourage you to explore other areas of the company and deny you the opportunity when you ask about it. They have poor placement and development programs. They put people in departments that aren't even relevant to their degree of study, and you don't learn anything new. A lot of the people that have stayed in the company longer are complacent and play games on Facebook during work hours. There's a reason why they're called the "Lazy B" in the aerospace industry. They are not considerate to tell people that most interns are located in Everett or Renton. Their end of the summer report out event was not helpful at all. Almost all of the full-time managers and VPs that come don't even seem interested to talk to you. Their interactions aren't genuine.

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.
