Vantaggi
It's a huge company so you can literally change careers without "starting over". We work on cool things! Decent pay, but the benefits have seriously eroded in the 12 years I've been here and will continue to do so with cost cuts. You can move up easily just by coming in & doing a great job.
Svantaggi
Management is currently on the war path against the unions, moving work around throughout the world, and attempting to cut costs at every corner. Everyone is feeling the pressure and it's creating a horribly low morale in the Seattle area. Because the company is so huge, everything moves so slowly, and it feels like it's hard to get things done. It's easy for no one to be held accountable because there's always someone else to deflect to- and the guys in charge are the ones moving around so much that they aren't around to deal with any consequences of their poor decisions.
