Pros

Pay was good. Benefits were good. Friday BBQs were good.

Cons

Safety is touted highly, but not taken seriously (e.g. hazard studies show a particular task to be too dangerous to execute gets over-ridden by management because they need the task completed). Direction changes too often to accomplish anything. This doesn't work well in an R&D environment. Middle management could be better. They don't make any decision and simply relay direction from upper management.
