Pros

Some great projects, great managers, great opportunity depending on where you are. Great benefits right now. 10% 401k matching (can include student loan payments). Coverage of education. 12 weeks parental leave. My PTO accrual rate is about 3.5 hours a week. Flex schedules. Overtime is paid (x1.05). Health care includes company contribution to HSA.

Cons

Inconsistent software development practices/processes between programs. Software organization is in its infancy. No consistent mentoring or professional development support. Potential for toxic culture among some teams. Recent company struggles impact resolve. Push to return to office even when it is completely unnecessary. My team is spread across the world with only one local team member but my managers manager wants me to go to the office 4 days a week. Pay may not be the most competitive but not the worst either. Most programs are not cutting edge software. Some are just very old code. Processes can be too much overhead

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.
