Pros

Awesome benefits, can't find better or even a match anywhere. The choice and low cost of health plans alone is a huge plus. Generous tuition reimbursement, 401k, employee discounts, etc. -- all great. Also, pay is pretty generous for the market. Quite competitive. And you can feel proud about working for a company involved in some great things like the International Space Station.

Cons

Every division is so different. The division I'm in is just awful as far as morale. The head of our division is a jerk, and it's easy to tell that we're all just a number to him. Ironically, I feel like upper management (way above him) is much more respectful and values us more, but unfortunately they let "Napoleon" run things however he wants - and he wants numbers, numbers, numbers. People just get in the way.

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.
