Pros

The organization is trying to increase diversity -- both of ethnicity and thought. If your first line leadership some leadership skills, your contribution & talent will be recognized. The organization has provided the structure and mechanisms for recognizing and rewarding employees who work hard and deliver successful outcomes.

Cons

Just because the structure is there, does not mean that leaders' employ it. It is a highly political, finger pointing, lack of accountability environment. Of course, you need to produce to be considered for promotional opportunities. Most professionals expect that. Unfortunately, that isn't enough. Time and again, employees watch the friends (and even family) of higher-ups be promoted without regard to prior results. This produces a culture of 'yes people' and suck ups. You need to know a higher up in the organization if you want to be considered for promotional opportunities..

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?
