Pros

9/80 schedule, some great people, very ethical (zero tolerance for harassment and the like), many different programs to work on (if you are allowed to change), large stable company, tuition reimbursement, good 401k match

Cons

large company, raises and promotions are not merit based, talent seems to go unnoticed, old tools and technology, many engineers are out of touch with current/modern software techniques, very difficult to change any process, culture, etc., little to no control over your career path and project placement

Pros

My pros are my manager and team coworkers. Outside of that not really a fan. I do well at what I do.

Cons

Honestly, ever since new management has come for the upper VPs and directors, a lot has shifted for the negative. Feels very micromanaging when we were told we were doing fine at home and there was no reason to have us come back in the office. Now suddenly we’re being forced back to the office. Other departments and I don’t really get along because there’s a bunch of petty people just trying to get others in trouble and all I’m doing is trying to do my job. Where I am at, everyone just talks all day and then complains about how much work they have.
