Pros

Has a pension plan and standard benefits. Larger company with many offices and variety of jobs throughout the US. Will provide paid training if needed for job function.

Cons

The only way to advance and get more pay is to leave the company and come back. Recent layoffs resulted in company loosing key people that had been there for years even though they weren't part of the layoffs. The loss of big contracts lead to the layoffs, loss of bonuses, hiring stopage, and no more company building activities. Company hasn't been keeping up with more trendy companies and therefore is stuck in the past.

Pros

Good working environment Exciting projects Great coworkers (for the most part, like any place)

Cons

Like any maturing company, it has become more and more top-heavy, placing more and more emphasis on project management and milestones, sometimes over bread-and-butter engineering. I could have half the PMs I have now and do a better job
