Pros

Company has funds for new technology and processes. Most of the employees are professional and hard working, however some (including managers) are petty. This is no different from other large organizations. Benefits are great even with phase out of pension for new employees. 401K has excellent match. Medical is great. Salaries are average for non-managers. Working conditions are excellent at my site.

Cons

Unless you are anointed, advancement can be very slow. Factors other than merit guide assignments to challenging work. Most people are little cogs in a big organizational machine. Processes and methods are very company specific and may not be transferable. Unless you are in St of Washington, need to be able to move for advancement.

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.
