Pros

Decent pay, benefits, ability to move within the company.

Cons

No chance to rise to the top or above a certain level through hard, loyal work if you do not have the right genes. Have actually been told that "they just have some numbers to fill" when not getting a promotion, not that they hired the best person for the job. Interviews are subjective at best and alot of times performed by unqualified employees with a stock set of questions. Symantics.

Pros

Free rides on public transit

Cons

If you come in as entry level engineer the only way to move from entry level to higher level position is to wait the prescribed number of years, which is 2.5 years, even if you came in with experience
