Pros

Good insurance plan, co-workers are helpful

Cons

No breaks, very strict pre-determined adherence ( going to the bathroom is pretty much monitored too), average training, supervisors can range from overly monitoring everything to don't care at all.

Great benefits

Pros

The benefits are amazing and the weather in Kansas is awesome all year long. They have a beautiful garden on campus and a walking path you can use to take breaks from your desk.

Cons

It can be hard to find anyone interested in career continuation. There is a lot of focus on what they can learn from you and not so much attention on creating a sense of community or on further opportunities for individual career growth.

Pros

Enjoyable team atmosphere - everyone is fairly laid back. Challenging and interesting embedded software development with a lot of testing and validation to meet DO-178 requirements. Good work-life balance.

Cons

Pay scale is a little on low end, but somewhat made up for with a decent benefits package. There is not a lot of turnover, so while you may advance in your career path based on title and pay rate, there aren't a lot of ways to make significant jumps into different roles.
