Pros

Easy - they really put no stress on you, and have really low expectations Flexible - a lot of managers are really easy-going about flexing time off Healthcare/401k - healthcare is awesome, and their matching is pretty nice

Cons

You have to go through about five people to get even the simplest thing installed on your computer, they have absolutely no trust in their engineers, and they seem to constantly want to take everything good away from the employees, and they have recently decided that they want to pour more effort into stopping people from texting and walking than they do into improving the actual work we produce. Since it's a union, you're guaranteed a raise but getting anything decent is nearly impossible.

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.
