Pros

Depending on the business area, it can be a very relaxed work environment. Decent benefits package, however it has gone down hill in the last few years.

Cons

No real path for advancement unless someone quits or retires. Below par for base compensation.

Pros

Good working environment Exciting projects Great coworkers (for the most part, like any place)

Cons

Like any maturing company, it has become more and more top-heavy, placing more and more emphasis on project management and milestones, sometimes over bread-and-butter engineering. I could have half the PMs I have now and do a better job
