Pros

Stability Good benefits Great to have on your resume if you're an aspiring engineer who's just starting out. Lots of incredible people (just not at the top) Perfect for people who are content, looking for a paycheck, and don't care about things like culture, personal growth, innovation, or transparency.

Cons

A lot of lipstick on this pig. It promotes its core values but doesn't operate by them. It claims to be innovative but if anything, it's on the cutting edge of obsolescence. Leadership is arrogant and cocky but has zero perspective on the outside world. Most have never worked anywhere else, don't know any better (but think they know everything), and pander to the most senior person in the room. Power is repressively concentrated at the top and that repressive conduct is mimicked down the ladder. The place is a museum and antiquated all around: company culture, operations, organizationally, IT systems, facilities, etc.. Blackbox, unwritten, and arbitrary promotion criteria based in part on whether people in power like you.

Pros

Decent pay and interesting projects that allow for good professional development.

Cons

Absolutely horrendous work-life balance. I have been at the company for almost 20 years and their lack of support and flexibility for parents is incredibly disappointing. Going to the office requirements are unrealistic with little kids, and some of the newly minted managers are on a power trip, micromanaging high performers and quoting pto policies if you need to run 30min errands midday.
