Pros

Excellent work life balance, rarely have I pulled more than 40 hours per week. Good culture below the management level. You can apply for the job you want within the comment if you are bored of your current position. Great health plans, 401k benefits

Cons

I had to request a promotion for 3 years straight before I was granted an upgrade, despite several years of working above my pay grade and getting well above average management reviews. They basically admit that in order to advance your career path, you either need to switch jobs in the company or leave the company and come back. More often than not, upgraded positions are filled by external hires rather than promoting the people already in place.

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.
