Pros

Great 401k, Sick Time, Good Vacation Time

Cons

Struggling to keep up with the times. Very rigid work environment. Creativity and innovation are stifled by these rigid processes. Tools needed to do your job are unavailable and very difficult to obtain. Old buildings. Uninspiring gray working environment. You are constantly walking on egg shells wondering if you are following the correct procedures. No training. Arbitrary number based performance reviews. Too many pretentious business terms used and makes it difficult to understand people.

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.
