Pros

Plenty of room for advancement (it's mostly 50+ folks near retirement), good professional development road map, benefits are good but not great, management is trying their hardest to drag an elderly status-quo-supporting workforce up to current technologies

Cons

Atmosphere can be stale, old, and slow; largely male-dominant demographic; company mindset, courtesy of the last hiring boom being in the 1970s, is often antiquated, intracompany knowledge transfer is too slow to capture all the expertise that will leave with the upcoming wave of retirements

Pros

Company is doing well in this down economy. Revamp of nuclear industry is creating a massive demand for high quality engineers.

Cons

Outdated IT resources. Large age gap between experienced employees and new hires. Knowledge transfer is difficult with a lot of relying on personal accountability to learn new concepts.

Pros

- Industry is growing - Green company - Great salary & benefits - Management really seems to care about employee engagement - Many opportunities for young professionals

Cons

- Excluding engineering, career opportunities can be limited in certain fields - Growth opportunities in the future will most likely be outside the US and employees must be willing to relocate -- or at least travel - Management seems reluctant to introduce flexible working arrangements (telecommuting, alternate work schedules, etc.) that would improve family/work life balance
