Pros

Good benefits, good salary, good people Flexability is amazing, ask about it.

Cons

It's a corporation with a lot of tiers of people who need to be impressed in order to get promotions. Can take time, but I have found that my managers have been very supportive of me reaching my career goals. They have cut back on retirement benefits, but they are still above other companies.

Pros

Learn from industry experts. Feel a sense of accomplishment from some projects that make a big impact in the world. Access to top notch equipment and software. Networking and learning from other departments is encouraged and scheduled. Co-workers are courteous to each other during 95% of the disagreements, which is way more than other companies. Excellent pay and benefits.

Cons

Sometimes there are unrealistic expectations for financial performance and project schedules. That can lead to difficult conversations to explain what is realistic, project flops, or rush-job mistakes. When we're short-handed, we have engineers with 25 years of experience doing entry-level technician work. It's not efficient.

Pros

Big company, lots of variety. Excellent technical staff, excellent for exchange of ideas and expertise

Cons

Pay is low and package no longer makes up for it. Job situation is unstable in product development, projects arbitrarily cut. Management seems to have forgotten how to invest in new product development. Bureaucracy has become overwhelming.
