Pros

Good people to work with. Great benefits. The Learning Together Program is a wonderful program encouraging employees to continue their education.

Cons

Annual raises tend to be minimal. The corporate culture has changed since the merger with McDonnell Douglas. It seems that instead of promoting from within, it is preferred to bring in people external to the company. Changes are being implemented which seem to be focused on short term financial aspects. Numbers are like statistics. They need to be balanced with longer term vision and common sense.

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.
