Pros

Decent pay with subpar benefits. You work with talented people until they are gone.

Cons

Outdated forced ranking puts good people on corrective action process, even if they don't deserve it. This system does not foster team work. You are under gestapo scrutiny all the time and there is a lot of hostility. HR is horrible.

Pros

Pay is good. (That's what draws you in.) Working with some very outstanding engineers and overall nice people at the lower levels.

Cons

There isn't enough space to write all of the cons. All of upper management needs to be jettisoned and that includes the president. I have never seen a more inept gathering of managers, directors, VP's, etc, in my entire working career. (35 + years). The attrition rate would make some "normal" companies blush. You will be over worked. You are treated very, very poorly. Do not ever think for a minute that you are unique. In the eyes of upper management, you are quickly dispensable and can be back filled with another warm body. It really is sad. Beware of that oncoming bus, your manager will be more than happy to throw you in front of it!

Not a recommended career stop...

Pros

Pay is good for the area, great people to work with

Cons

Outdated tools and systems, divisions pitted against each other rather than working together, caustic environment. Management is rewarded for suppressing and taking credit for subordinates. Penny pinching goes to unrealistic limits. Generally, overqualified people are hired and encouraged to negatively compete with colleagues for very limited opportunities to advance. You have to be a certain kind of person to be most successful here - that would include sharp and witted to override anything else anyone says, and a willingness to attack your colleagues into submission.
