Pros

Unionized engineering - once you've been a while you have some great job stability. Great health care and work life balance Good 401k matching

Cons

-Raises are pretty crappy with new contracts. No incentive to work hard. You get nearly the same raise as everyone else. -unionized engineering - hard to trim the fat on the company and keep it lean. -with recent downturn, work is very boring. Nothing very exciting going on at the company. If you are used to a fast paced, exciting environment, youll probably feel like you're rotting away here.

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.
