Pros

OK benefits, 401k match is 50% but only up to 8% of salary, annual bonus about 3%. As an engineer, environment is 'sea of cubes', so looks at engineers as round pegs to fit round holes. Lots of opportunities to talk to others and look for other roles, so don't have to be 'locked in'. Agile is being pushed, but not gracefully or appropriate to positions or problems. Somewhat typical big company approaches to everything. Individual positions good or bad or in between, totally dependent on managers and colleagues so generalization probably impossible. Overall OK place to work, but not outstanding.

Cons

Salary seems soft, with very limited to no negotiation room in initial hiring. Past that, the usual steps. No longer any useful innovation reward for patents, etc. 401k match is small. Big pressure to save costs, but this hasn't really been extended to most intelligent hiring decisions or similar. Many people care a lot, but management won't take most improvements forward

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.
