Pros

Very good benefits; lots of different job types and the ability to learn various aspects about other jobs; tons of opportunites if you'll get out of your shell and push for change. Part of the benefits package includes all expense paid continued education (with limits), lots of on- and off-hours training available, stock bonus when you complete further degrees, employee discounts, opportunities to work in other parts of the world, a very diverse workforce, the company has set up systems to help with all aspects of health (gyms, substance abuse, weight), lots of hobby groups and volunteer groups. In the end, there are lots of perks, but there is room for just about everyone in this huge company.

Cons

The company is so large that it is very easy to feel like you're lost in a sea of people and that your efforts go unnoticed. You need to learn how to "toot your own horn" in a constructive way. You'll only get as far as you're willing to push yourself.

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.
