Pros

The organization is filled with talented, knowledgeable senior engineers. Great place to learn and grow. Its a very stable company leading a mature industry that's not going anywhere.

Cons

Average compensation focused on inflation and severe cuts in benefits have left less of a reason to stay around at the company.

Pros

They used to have good benefits and were relatively safe from layoffs. The co-workers are great.

Cons

Teamwork has been tossed aside. Company morale is extremely low. Leadership is based on the concept that "no one is more royal than the king", as one senior manager put it. Processes that should address these issues exist, but are so pie-in-the-sky that they cannot succeed. Results from employee surveys are spun to fit expectations. Those that can't be spun in a positive manner are solved by either adding on more required training, or rewording the surveys the next time. An example may illustrate the atmosphere: someone complained that the US flag outside the building either needed to be taken down at night, or illuminated if left up. The solution was to cut down the flagpole. I'm not kidding.
