Pros

Good personalities to work with for the most part. The benefits are great especially if you are young. My advice is to get in and get them to pay for your degree and then leave. Work/life balance is great since there is very little required in terms of performance.

Cons

There are a considerable amount of people doing little or no work. The company is reliant on heroes that are running most of the projects and it burns people out and they leave. Knowledge sharing is non-existent. The pace is extremely slow. Work that is done over months is done in weeks at other companies. Many people are working full time while supporting another job outside the company due to lack of a challenge and boredom.

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.
