Pros

Great stability and benefits such as paid time off, health care, etc. Great opportunity for junior engineers to gain experience in a variety of fields. Job diversity is very good.

Cons

Upward mobility is very limited, seems like self starters and highly productive employees have a difficult time advancing their careers. Career advancement is more about training than experience or proficiency. Extremely limited opportunities for those interested in staying in engineering rather than transitioning to management. Limited compensation increases for senior engineers.
