Pros

Work Life Balance has good days and bad days. Depending on your team it can be good. Good benefit packages. 401K matching is good. Plenty of areas to grow.

Cons

Too much bureaucracy. Hard to gain technical experience as a young employee when half your work is merely to satisfy process. Get in a bad group, you will be miserable. Culture encourages mid-level leadership to hide failures because help provided is too much.

Great Company Culture

Pros

Company has great culture, and they try to promote it in a way that it is not too obvious and forced upon the individuals. They also have a wealth of technical library access which can be a good source of self study and career enhancement.

Cons

For my department, there was a limited chance of promotions due to a small group of individuals involved with my program. I'm sure that is not the case at the main plant, so this may not even be a Con, which I can't seem to find that would stand out. Another thing I can think of is doing away with pension program, which a lot of companies are doing these days.
