Pros

We get to work on amazing projects. Benefits are excellent (retirement plan: contribute 5%, they match 10%.) Don't like what you're working on now? Talk to somebody and work on their project. Don't like what anybody's working on? Get it funded and you can do it.

Cons

Not a particularly exciting place culturally. Advancement is borderline nonexistent. Started with a graduate degree in the mid-80s, but not expecting to get much in terms of raises or promotions ever.

Pros

It is an excellent engineering company with a strong academic culture. With the strong academic culture the company is always encouraging you to continue to learn both an educational environment as well and hands on job training.

Cons

Since it does have such a strong academic culture they are not willing to always look at candidates that are more qualified for position (with proven track records) because they do not have an advanced degree.
