      Enormous, highly capable company that treats professionals like cattle.

      Pros

      They have interesting challenges to work on, if you can beg/borrow/or steal your way into one of them. Somewhere in the company is someone that knows how to do almost anything you want to learn to do, and they will generally gladly talk to you. Whatever your challenge requires, the equipment is somewhere within the company.

      Cons

      A bad review doesn't mean you did a poor job, it means they A) don't want to pay you what you are worth, or B) want to lay you off. Reviews are consistently distorted in this way (dishonest). The best way to get on the layoff list is to (intentionally or accidentally) challenge some executive cherished illusion. Being hardworking and good at what you do does not greatly matter in determining your career success. They find reasons to differentially lay older workers off, regardless of peer respect or productivity (perhaps a cost issue?).

      No longer a good long-term career choice

      Pros

      If you are a union-represented engineer: good benefits and opportunities to get some technical training. Potential for flexible work schedules which is great for people caring for young children or elderly parents. Still some opportunity to move around the company to gain more experience instead of having to move to a completely different company but those opportunities are shrinking. The opportunity to work with some very smart people.

      Cons

      Restrictive skill/job codes that limit movement which used to be a major benefit. Increasingly difficult to move to the next pay scale. Too many levels of management and frequent re-organizations which impacts productivity. Depending on the organization, you can be transferred as often as annually to different sites all over the Puget Sound which makes it difficult to maintain carpools and vanpools, so commuting can be a significant issue. Big company politics.
