Vantaggi

Benefits are very good and they used to be excellent; although they may start deteriorating if the economy does not improve soon.

Svantaggi

Promotions are based on your ability to become buddies with particular managers. Promotions are not based on skills or capabilities or how well you perform. Company doesn't stand by what it says publicly; e.g., it stresses an education but if you have or get advanced degrees, it goes nowhere, making your hard work a waste of time and energy. There are no leaders among management. Just managers. I have not seen any "cons" in this website that I don't agree with. All appear to be accurate, imo. Very little to non-existent OTJ training. I have not had any in the time I have been with the company. Managers appear to work 40 hour stress-free work weeks while the workers are overworked and unappreciated. Not much tasking to work in the area one was trained in let alone help one grow or learn the latest standards.

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.
