Pros

Plenty of room for growth and advancement at the lower levels assuming one is motivated, dependable, and competent. The effort typically does not go unnoticed, but this may be dependent upon department. Pay is on-par, if not slightly higher than similar companies in the area. Schedule is extremely flexible - typically have no issues with adjusting schedule to accommodate appointments, education or other personal matters. Ability to work from home is a huge plus. Average tuition reimbursement plan ($8k/yr undergrad level, $10k/yr grad level). Generous retirement savings (max 5% contribution match and additional yearly 4% contribution based upon previous year salary).

Cons

As a larger company, typical bureaucratic issues. Can take a long time to accomplish small tasks.

Pros

Given a lot of responsibility and there are opportunities to move up or around the company if self motivated. A lot can be learned if driven to do teach yourself.

Cons

Not much loyalty to current employees. Focus is on whatever the current "corporate" goal is and little care is given to employees work/life balance or their work environment. Poor communication and lack of proper management usually results in productive individuals carrying excessive workloads while underperforming individuals skate by.

Pros

Director and below you will find outstanding people who are vastly intelligent. Interesting technology; potential for greatness exists...

Cons

There exists a toxic work environment due to the fact 90% of all Vice Presidents are inexperienced, lack basic business acumen, and are cowed to the Textron Systems CEO. Due to the continual onslaught of poor management decisions, lack of leadership in nearly all areas, the company is, for the most part, in paralysis. Pay is far below average.
