Pros
Stable career with interesting tasks. Learning Together program is quite generous, while the engineers' union (SPEEA) ensures fair overtime pay and benefits. Impresses people from out of town.
Cons
Work can be mundane. Everything is checked, rechecked for correctness, engineers contribute minutely to each massive project. As a sprawling corporation, it can be hard to coordinate schedules among management and even other employees. It's easy to feel insignificant when a project that dominates your work hours may be discarded at the end because of management whim. Some engineering tools are antiquated; we only had one MATLAB license among a 20-person group.
