Pros

For most of my years with the company, it was a great place to work. Good salary, great benefits, great people to work with. I loved my time there, when employees were given the opportunity to make decisions that truly impacted their job, and the products they created.

Cons

Over the past couple of years, management has turned more and more toward micro-management, with many decisions being made from up on high and filtered on down to the non-management employees, with very little room for positive change on the way down. The company used to care so much for their people, now they only care about share holders, and the short term dollar.

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.
