      Mass layoffs every few years should say it all.

      Pros

      Job completion bonuses are nice, if you are eligible to receive them. Average benefits with 6% matching 401K (good luck making it to fully vested status). Experience is always good, if you want to stay in this industry after layoffs.

      Cons

      Everybody is just a number. Working 80-110 hour work weeks is exhausting. They are 12 hour rotating shifts in the field, not including the 4 hours driving round trip to get to that site. You will more than likely be laid off before you are considered fully vested.

      Pros

      Good training. Good travel opportuity. Good for first 5 to 10 years of a career get out after this and before stagnation.

      Cons

      Too much emphasis on agreeing with bosses. Lots of talk but little support when it really mattered. Some excellent managers but some dross as well. Youre pretty screwed when you end up with a crap one for a year or two.

      Pros

      Very interesting technical work, excellent test facilities. Highly educated workforce. Good pay and benefits.

      Cons

      Many layers of management. In recent years, beaurocracy is heavy reducing job satisfaction and company performance. Upper management have become a bottleneck for low impact decisions. For example, a program manager responsible for all major decisions on a $10 million per year development program can't approve a $500 business trip to a supplier; all business travel must be approved by 4 additional levels of management, taking weeks, while delaying the program.
