Pros

A good place to go if you want a job where you don't have to use your brain or think. A good place to go if you want free flu shots, who cares if they are filled with mercury and result in a bunch of brain dead coworkers who don't even know how to perform simple tasks.

Cons

Working with morons who can't perform simple tasks. Everyone is afraid to do anything outstanding for fear of being squashed or laid off in the next rounds. If you're female, don't even waste your time thinking you are going to advance. Don't waste your time filing a discrimination complaint with HR, it will go no where.

Pros

Amazing team and management. There is a wealth of knowledge from multi-year veterans to tech-fellows and engineers who have been at this location since it was Douglas Jets.

Cons

Non-production facility. You don't get to see the planes come off the production-line like you would in the Seattle-area locations.

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.
