Pros

There is a great work / life balance here. Nobody questions you when you schedule a vacation or take personal time off. The work is predictable because it is a process heavy company. This is expected in a place this large with such complex products. Processes are required to get +100,000 to work together effectively. Benefits are good, but are getting reduced.

Cons

Process driven work culture leaves little room for creative problem solving. Most engineering tasks are predefined by process documents or in house tools. Skill development is slow. No desire to take risks and innovate for the future.

Pros

For context, I work on the defense side. The work is really fun and exciting with a lot of opportunities to grow. My team is close knit, supportive, and very passionate. Being a part of a union means paid overtime, which is really unusual for software.

Cons

Workload is insane. I often work weekends and have pulled 60-80 hour weeks many times. PTO is bare minimum. I have a lot of fun at work, but if I'm putting in startup-level effort, I should not be making well below market rate.
