Pros

Benefits, Culture, Opportunities to grow and move within the company, Lots of projects if you want to try another area, Communication, Upper Management, Encouraging. Good 401k matching. Good Employee stock purchase plan.

Cons

Salaries are low relative to what peers make at other companies. Hard to believe the benefits make up for the low salary, but I haven't calculated it. Bonuses are given in some departments, but I've never seen heard of any in Engineering. Engineering Directors seem to try to keep salaries down to help make their business area look more profitable. They find excuses to keep from giving big raises.

By design, organizational structure is flat and titles and responsibility inconsistent across the company.
