Pros

Large long term programs. Possibility to move to different programs/different parts of the company. Possibility of changing job focus to a different area of interest in engineering. Much better than average benefits and about average salary. Very good continuing education support.

Cons

Very large management structure that can result in long decision making process. Difficulty achieving next skill level at some programs/sites due to lack of program budget. Sparse communication from senior management during periods of program uncertainty.

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.
