Pros

Good pay, mostly good management, opportunity to work on a wide variety of projects, good benefits, opportunity to learn a lot. Depending on the project, an opportunity to travel - or not, if you don't want to.

Cons

The opportunity to work on many things comes at the cost of working at a huge company that operates like a battleship. When it works, it can do some impressive things (like build planes). But all the red tape means it takes a lot to get anything done (i.e. like buy a PC).

Fantastic benefits and work-life balance. 401k match is unmatched!

Easy to get pigeon-holed into a role. Try exploring ways to stay pro-active and do different things

Pros

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

Cons

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.
