Pros

interesting work. compensation and benefits are pretty good.

Cons

coddles bad employees under the guise of "bringing them up", which rarely actually happens. technician promotion process near impossible. almost all non-tech positions are outside hires. little chance for advancement. training is virtually non-existent.

Pros

Always busy with challenging work.

Cons

Office politics slows things down, seems like some of the work is about checking a box and not about really creating value or improved processes.
