Vantaggi

The company offers great medical and educational (tuition reimbursement) benefits. Despite occasional layoffs, jobs are relatively secure. Engineers get paid OT (base rate + $6.50 -- better than nothing). Good leadership and career development opportunities (if you can get into them). About market level pay -- you won't get rich, but you won't starve.

Svantaggi

It's a corporate behemoth, and a 100 year old company. It's stuck in the past with regards to some benefits such as parental leave and virtual work. Layers upon layers upon layers of management mean that your level of impact is relatively small and there is little room for personal innovation. With a company this large, unless you have an executive mentor or someone important who notices you, advancement is extremely slow. A lot of terrible first line managers who have no people skills. The company culture is kind of toxic in many jobs - there are a good amount of people who don't seem to care to excel and get by doing the minimum.

Vantaggi

Easy going, nice benefits, free further education (masters/PhD). Great for an engineer starting out who needs to dip their feet in the pool of engineering for a few years and to get a great 401(k) match at the start of your career (compounding growth). Great for late stage career due to the benefits and solid enough pay in a low cost of living area

Svantaggi

pay-scale lagging, no emphasis on learning new things, no punishment for people who are bad at their job. After working for 4 years, I feel like I should have jumped ship after 2. I haven't been given meaningful work that really challenges me in a while. Now I feel pigeonholed into staying because I have enough years of experience that I really should be considered senior, but I haven't been given work that reflects what I senior engineer should be capable of. Now I'm trying to jump ship before it's really too late. If I stay here another 2 years I think I will be genuinely unemployable and will have to stay at this company forever.
