Pros

Stable career with interesting tasks. Learning Together program is quite generous, while the engineers' union (SPEEA) ensures fair overtime pay and benefits. Impresses people from out of town.

Cons

Work can be mundane. Everything is checked, rechecked for correctness, engineers contribute minutely to each massive project. As a sprawling corporation, it can be hard to coordinate schedules among management and even other employees. It's easy to feel insignificant when a project that dominates your work hours may be discarded at the end because of management whim. Some engineering tools are antiquated; we only had one MATLAB license among a 20-person group.

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.
