Pros

Still doing some very exciting scientific and technological work. Job stability is excellent, especially for strong performers. There are opportunities for younger generations to grow quickly if they perform and play politics well since a lot of the workforce is nearing retirement age.

Cons

A lot of red tape and internal politics. Bad managers are allowed to continue being bad managers with HR, Ethics and senior leaders not doing anything to fix it beyond a slap on the wrist and token trainings that don't actually get followed up by meaningful measurements to see if they worked (management science 101). Gets demoralizing for good employees trying to do well and make a difference.

Ethics and favoritism

Pros

Pay/salary and benefits are great with a 10% match on an employee's 401K contributions.

Cons

Some Corporate Managers and high level corporate executives play too many politics and favoritism. They practice very little ethical decisions and leave employees wondering what they did wrong. Little or no honesty among corporate managers and executives.

Pros

People are very kind and managers (at least in my experience) let you try out new things, especially as a young engineer. You can work on different programs and see what works or even switch around new technologies. Good for trying and learning new things.

Cons

As a software engineer, they are severely lacking in their tech stack. They are quite behind the tech world and use outdated technology often times. It's because they don't need a strong tech stack which is fine, but for aspiring software engineers, you may want to keep this in mind.

Pros

Professional development, access to managers who are approachable and care about the team, great opportunity to get exposure to many different things.

Cons

Sometimes being part of such a large organization you can feel lost in the weeds. Having a great manager can change all of that.

Pros

Good work life balance. Interesting projects and self managed workloads.

Cons

5 managers in a year's time. Constant moving targets and abandoned projects. Lack of vision and follow through from directors and Senior Management. Fear of job security due to reoccurring reorgs and layoffs. Fear of keeping your job and carrying the load of those laid off.

Pros

- Most workers are experienced and kind - I have had mainly good managers - Feels very stable retention wise if you're in the right area - Company is FINALLY getting serious about using new technology and Agile processes

Cons

- The beauracracy can be maddening - In EO there are frequent re organizations that take up time and don't always add value - Leadership is constantly changing direction, frustrating to always start new things and not always finish things - Promotion/review process is long and frustrating
