Pros

Good benefits, flexible schedule, travel from the city is short.

Cons

Work is uninspiring and boring. No job I've had has required more than a high school education. Lots of dumb people work here due to managers only hiring kids from their alma mater. Management is generally a mess. You'll have to work here for 15-20 years before you even sniff any preliminary design work. Promotions are often less than 3%. Yearly raise is about 2.5%. Pay is good enough to make you think, "Hey at least I have a job."

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.
