Pros

Good benefits. Flexible work hour. Cozy work environment. If you have no ambition in life and is willing to settle for status quo, this is the perfect company for you.

Cons

Little challenge to the works we do around here. The company has become so supplier oriented that there's little in-house engineering/design, instead we engineers are turned into mini program managers tasked with overseeing suppliers and fetching papers and signatures. Worse, all the papers are handled as if it was back in the 60's and 70's, when there were no electronic signature, and a lot of time are wasted by us engineers just to make the report 'look' nice. There's little support from non-engineering functions; a lot of times it's the engineers that are supporting the non-engineering functions.

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.
