Pros

Great talent, great resources, fun stuff to work on

Cons

Extreme groupthink, if you havent worked there for 25 years, you dont have an opinion, defense side is dying at a staggering pace, promotions or changing jobs inside the company is difficult; they keep doing the same things over and over and keep losing business; future of the defense side is looking bad over the next 10 years. Senior management doesn't make decisions; they are happy just making their money, scared to make any decision that will jeopardize their reputation; so nothing really gets done.

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.
