Pros

Lunch is really great. Campus is good.

Cons

Hardworking engineers are constantly bullied by incompetent engineering managers, project managers, etc. Meetings over and over, and expect things happen magically. You can expect to get help from your managers. If you work there long enough, you are able to make friends with other people, that is the best route.

Pros

Relatively easy to get things done for a company with such a long history. Certainly not "start up" like, but processes like resource allocation have less overhead than working at a company like Google. Pay was pretty good for the midwest. I hear they are currently pretty open to remote work. It's also not the hardest place to work.

Cons

Opportunities are limited in software engineering. Since Apollo took over, SE was viewed mostly under the lens of "what is the least we can invest here to get the job done". There used to be a really good office in Champaign with lots of very talented software engineers put together. That's gone now.
