Pros
Flexible schedule, good pay, and good benefits. Facilities are fairly well kept and co-workers are generally adept. Company events like picnic and engineer activities. Mentoring activities and growth opportunities for young engineers.
Cons
Working with old technologies, rigid mentality and culture, slow to change, progress is very slow, overly reliant on Microsoft. Processes in different groups may vary and cause conflict. Working with groups in different time zones is challenging. Some groups unable/unwilling to work toward common goal. Security and intellectual property concerns are paranoid. Security measures make work difficult. Company is so behind the competition that there is little or nothing to protect. Low water pressure -- what is with the water?
