Pros

Free education classes. On the job Computer software classes, College , food in meetings. You can work on your degree while you are working. Work can be easy as you want. Tullys Coffee Good experience There are Processes defined (yes a few do work!)

Cons

Good boy network. Not much work per employee. Lazy people "Make work" is indirectly encouraged. You don't have to work if you don't want to. Preselected people for promotions based on age. Look at years of experience vs persons capability Longtime managers are bitter toward younger people - people under 32. Managers think they are gift from god. They just cut the free education with no exceptions Do not pass on knowledge to new employees Processes do not work and the process author does not understand the final goal. More focused on Top Down management Too many layers of managers They don't care if a very good employee leaves

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.
