Pros

Employee contribution towards medical premiums have increased over the years and will continue to do so but benefits are still good (for now). Good sick leave, vacation and holiday allowances. Non-program employee jobs are less affected by layoffs. I like my work but not the issues noted in the Cons section.

Cons

Killed pensions. Tiny cubicle workspace with one small 3 drawer cabinet about size of a nightstand. Leadership/management are stuck in the ‘70s - employees expected to do more with inadequate/antiquated systems and tools.Management avoidance of conflict - will not address personnel issues (slacker employees) and does not treat employees equitably (favoritism). Dedicated employees are rewarded by receiving more work with no extra compensation. Promotions are impossible unless employee is one of the chosen ones (favoritism). Low annual salary increases unless again employee is one of the chosen ones. Male and or younger employees assigned higher profile projects. Top leadership is all talk - they say employees are valued with their annoying “thank you for all you do.” Yes thank us for lining your pockets $$$$$$$ while many non-management employees need to take second jobs just to survive.

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.
