Pros

Competitive starting salary Comprehensive benefits package w/ 6% company match on 401K Work from home program is in the works (because of COVID-19.) Prestigious to put on a resume. The job security is great as an engineer. Rotation program (transfer to a different discipline's department for 6 months to gain experience.) The company has a new CEO, we'll see how that pans out. Pro? Maybe?

Cons

Personal performance is not rewarded Quality comes second to schedule The annual "performance raise" is actually a 2.5%-3% cost of living adjustment. The only raises come from employee reclassification (a promotion). The company is typically behind the times/slow to adjust. There is a huge problem with attrition, especially with the 5-7 year experience level. This is because most people realize that the only way to be able to earn what they're actually worth is to leave the company.

Pros

Job Security. Many different roles available in the company. 6% 401k Match Many low performance workers here, so if you try hard you will stand out. Work can be very interesting.

Cons

Very low raises ~3%, High performance vs Low performance ~1% different. Quality of your job depends largely on your supervisor/management who most often does not have your interest at heart. Management can prevent you from moving departments. Parking is terrible unless you get in at 6AM.

Toxic work place

Pros

The culture is toxic and there is an under current of negative energy. If your lucky and get hired into a group with good leadership, it could be a fun place to work.

Cons

Get in with the wrong group and your life will be hell.
