Pros

The company has good benefits. The work atmosphere is decent as well. The have organized events for new college hires and employees who have started recently. Flex hours are available on most projects.

Cons

Employees are not rewarded by hard work. Promotions are solely dependent on whether your manager feels like filling out the paper work or not.

Pros

There are a lot of opportunities to be involved in different aspects of engineering. You are allowed, even encouraged, to apply for different positions within the company.

Cons

Getting hired is a double edged sword. It can be difficult getting an interview (applying seems fairly useless, they will find you if they're interested) so many people are likely to take less money than they want or to work in a program that doesn't particularly interest them to "get their foot in the door." It is extremely difficult to get raises or promotions without transferring around in the company. A major focus of the company is retaining younger employees, most people either leave well before they hit their 5 year anniversary or end up staying for 20-30, not a lot in between.

Pros

I have been very pleased with the work life balance. Management has been very accommodating with flexible schedules, work atire, and access to training.

Cons

Dealing with all the layers of red tape to get things done. The fact that my work computer is so locked down that it is painfully slow to check my email, let alone write software.
