Pros

Pay, benefits, opportunities, and training are top notch. There are good people who are mostly easy to work with and always willing to help. Corporate culture is definitely preferable to the Exxon types.

Cons

Company feels even bigger than it is...change happens slowly, every decision required full consensus (achieved through 4+ meetings) and there are layers upon layers of bureaucracy.

Pros

Opportunity for travel, great training, some projects are awesome, salaries for new employees are quite high, relaxed working environment (9/80s, etc)

Cons

May end up in a crappy project, lower level managers are for the most part just corporate jargon jack-in-the-boxes, level of process stifles agility and creativity, poor performers are not punished leading to low morale across teams

Pros

Very inclusive atmosphere. Everyone in group enjoys the job they are doing. Generally considerate management. Ethics and safety are heavily emphasized. Endless opportunities and encouragement to learn new things.

Cons

Sometimes being too scientific rather than engineering thinking slows down decision making. Little training or opportunity for learning management or leadership skills, even though supposedly available..
