Pros

Excellent place for an engineer to get started. Numerous paths to start a career and lots of opportunities to grow.

Cons

Old company that at times is slow in adopting new technology.. Good Ole' Boy system still exists and can block progress. It is difficult to get new ideas off the ground and at times accomplishments go unnoticed.

Pros

Remote Work, Flex Schedule, Benefits are decent enough.

Cons

It is very much a boys club between management, leads, and HR. HR is there to protect the company, not you. The moment you have something crazy happen (and you will because most people in positions of power are old retired navy guys who cant even work a computer usually and would rather praddle on about "the good ole days") and you report it to HR, you immediately will be retaliated against, even when HR says you wont. Its tough to say how you wont when they immediately inform your supervisor. I also hate how they are an "inclusive" company, and yet I have been called more slurs and received more backlash for being LGBT when its not even being presented, I just want to log in, work, ask questions, log off.
