Pros

Potentially beats being unemployed.....potentially, they provide free coffee and water to employees. Lots of slogans and buzz words. Good if you like US management culture.

Cons

Bullying, blaming and abuse are the name of the game, lots of ex military types who know everything about anything. Lots of FIGJAM. Lots of very poor people managers in leadership roles who should really be better placed punching code behind closed Doors and not leading other humans. US citizens rule the place, no decisions made by locals (described as non-us employees). Management by crisis , repeat the same mistakes over and over. Endless meetings without any decision making. Risk aversion is extreme and results in no one doing anything, ever , under any circumstance....unless a US citizen tells them, then shazzam! It's battle stations and the hunt for scape goats and public floggings of low level support people occurring on a mass scale. Apart from that the pay is below market rates and the 8 hours a day of pointless meetings require 50-60 hour work weeks just to get any actual work done. Some people are nice, at least that's what I was led to believe.

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.
