Pros

Its a job. It might suit the slow and steady types *if* you are in the right project/department. If you get to assemble aeroplanes it might be a good job. However wouldn't advise to waste your time stalling your career here if you are a software developer for example.

Cons

Overall a low point in my career and life. Endless boring pointless corporate meetings. Endless corporate indoctrination/propaganda. Well below average working conditions (very cramped, noisy, uncomfortable office building). Old fashioned and American-centric culture. Not suitable for certain career paths.

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.
