Pros

Variety of work over the course of a year makes for challenging and interesting projects. Friendly open door culture within most business units.

Cons

Still using/maintaining very old legacy systems that in long term cost a lot to maintain. Customers pay for the developers software, which limits our toolsets and capabilities. Focus on safety to the exclusion of other more relevant topics.

Pros

The work is as cutting edge as it gets. As a software engineer, I was exposed to a multitude of technologies that were just taking off. The environment is relatively informal. The hours are extremely flexible. I could just not go to work on a random day of the week and that was ok as long as I sent an email.

Cons

It is nearly impossible to be promoted above a level 3 engineer in the Advanced Technology Lab. The level 4 and 5 employees aren't going anywhere, and there's not enough lower level employees to justify promoting any more 3's. It's purely a function of the lack of breadth in the 230 person organization. Also, unless you are coming in with a PhD from another high paying job, expect to get less than industry standard. People are leaving the company now and getting at least 20-25% pay increases.
