Pros

There is a great work / life balance here. Nobody questions you when you schedule a vacation or take personal time off. The work is predictable because it is a process heavy company. This is expected in a place this large with such complex products. Processes are required to get +100,000 to work together effectively. Benefits are good, but are getting reduced.

Cons

Process driven work culture leaves little room for creative problem solving. Most engineering tasks are predefined by process documents or in house tools. Skill development is slow. No desire to take risks and innovate for the future.

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.
