Pros

Decent compensation. Nice physical plant.

Cons

The culture is prone to playing favorites. There is very little attention paid to growth in the job. There are so many engineers it is easy to get lost. I worked there for seven years and never got on the good side of the key players. A lot of ego and unwillingness to share knowledge.

There is freedom to approach each project as you see fit. Strong support from senior leadership.

When several programs peak at the same time the hours start to creep up pretty quickly.
