      Pros

      Good work/life balance. Job seems secure. Good entry level salary. Good benefits (401k, med, and education, use them!) Friendly, approachable, and welcoming co workers. It's a large company, so there's a large community attached to it.

      Cons

      I'm called an engineer, but don't actually do engineering. I'm largely a low level project manager, but without the salary of a PM. I have no interest in the work, and what I do is excruciatingly boring. It feels like I'm quickly becoming invaluable as an engineer, and stuck with this company. The pay is okay for an ME, but not great for the location. The bureaucracy and disconnect between (lets say) work statements is insane! I think this is a collect-a-paycheck job, and not a career.

      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.
