Pros
Good work life balance. Good benefits (insurance, 401K, employee scholar program).
Cons
Too much red tape and office politics required to advance. It's not what you know, but who you know. The end of year performance review is a travesty. A complete black box in which the employee is not involved but gets judged on visibility of programs worked without a chance to defend oneself. Too much division of labor. Everyone has a niche job and does only one thing. Anchored to a desk; Even though it is an engineering company, very far removed from the actual action of parts being manufactured and engines operating except for during emergencies.
