Pros

Stability. No one ever gets laid off for being just average. At the most, they will be transferred to a different team. Time off is adequate. Most days are laid back and easy-going. An 8 hour day usually tops off at around 7hours, including lunch.

Cons

No room to advance unless someone dies or retires. Not much knowledge to gain either. Co-workers are not very motivated to learn new tools, concepts, or better ways of doing things. Salary is sub-par to comparable positions outside of the defense industry.

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.
