Pros

Competitive pay for junior engineers. Promotions seem to be straight forward.

Cons

Being a new employee, you would assume that management would have a proper plan for my tasks and responsibilities, nope. Not only did I have to constantly inquire on what I should be doing but whenever I did get a task it was to being a glorified security guard doing 100+ hours a pay period. Please tell me how any of this can be useful to my career. The guidance is terrible, making good use of engineers is terrible.

Pros

Large company with lots of areas to move if there was ever a concern for a division or section being cut

Cons

Just one of many. So many layers of Sr management.
