I worked in IT for 15 years as a software developer and the last ten was a huge downhill slide with no real leadership.

Potential to work on some great projects. Some really great people who really are experts in their fields.

Manufacturing, not R&D.

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good work/life balance, stable employment for years at a time, excellent benefits.

Cons

Technology lags behind the times, and it is hard to bring new methods into the company. Lots of cuts and tight budgets mean your team may be just you. It can be hard to find the right resources for more complicated tasks because of the maze of red tape and overlapping requirements. If you work here longer than five years, you risk being channeled into aerospace as your only job option. That is fine if you are an aerospace engineer but can be problematic if you're not.
