      Pros

      - Many engineering departments get to work on very cool consumer products. - The company is very diversified, allowing it to withstand the instability caused by rapidly changing technology. - Ample opportunities to switch departments. - 100% medical coverage at nearly no cost ( $10 copay) - Johnson County is an absolute 5-star place to raise a family. Schools are fantastic. - Decent PTO including standard holidays. - Work/Life balance is fantastic in most departments.

      Cons

      - Engineers tend to be promoted to management with little or no management training. Many end up trying it out, don't like it, and return to engineering. - Can be slow to adopt new tools and refactor existing code base, which often gets re-used without much improvement. - Engineering advancement track is in its infancy and thus has yet to be proven effective.

      Difficult to increase your salary once you are hired on. Plenty of career advancement opportunity, not much salary advancement.
