Pros

-Lots of opportunity to grow and work on different types of projects -Large company has traditionally provided significant stability (if a program ends unexpectedly, there are often openings for similar skillsets to keep folks on staff) -Good environment to learn some non-engineering business skills and participate in bidding support business development

Cons

-Some of the best VPs I've ever worked with/for are pushed out, and some of the most toxic and incompetent are promoted continuously -VPs do not share bad news up the chain to SVPs, and SVPs don't share bad news up to CEO, allowing a lot of rot and high impact failures since priorities become misaligned as ground truth diverges from plans -Frequently see initiatives and campaigns kick off to impress the Board, but they rarely succeed or complete

Pros

My manager was awesome. Job was diverse and creativity was welcomed. Salary was pretty good, even if I was technically doing two types of positions. Co-workers were also good, some great, actually. Work life balance was also pretty good. All credit to that goes to my manager and the managers I've had before my last one.

Cons

In the end, my loyalty seemed to not be valued. My hard work showed and I met deadlines before the due date. Only called in sick when actually sick, and hardly took time off. The thing that bothered me the most was the way they laid me off. Group Teams video meeting, but the person giving us the news was not on video. Just a black screen, telling you that was your last day and that after that meeting your access will be cut off. And it was. I almost felt like an email would've been better than that black screen. That is really the only time I felt bad about the way things went. I know corporate life brings in the usual fiscal year layoffs, but it just felt wrong the way it was done, in my opinion.
