Pros

- You get paid - Bonus - 401k match - Relatively low stress

Cons

- No after-tax contributions for 401k (no backdoor Roth IRA) - HSA ineligible health plans - Low 401k match - No pension - Low pay for SWEs - Contractors are, with some exceptions, very incompetent and need hand-holding with things as basic as version control.

Pros

(At the time) Fair pay and predictable bonus structure They were pretty good at covering travel expenses and paying them back quickly Diverse workforce & diversity initiatives Fun and funny coworkers Opportunities for growth Again, this was all four years ago and has likely changed

Cons

(At the time and now, according to other comments) Arrogant to a fault Total lack of innovation & willingness to innovate Odd attachment to the company's past (which prevents progress) High number of veterans (20+ years) who are determined to get that retirement money, and therefore, are resistant to change and technology Heavy reliance on command and control management style Poor decision-making that leads to losses of all kinds
