Pros

Most of engineers are really dedicated,intelligent and hard working. Excellent Benefits and reasonable 401k match. Peaceful and quiet town to stay in and good overall work life balance.

Cons

There is a big disconnect between the management and the engineers. Every individual is treated as a resouce and can be allocated to any task no matter how bad it matches with their experience and interest. Typical Silo'd groups where once you get good at something you will be labeled with it and always get the same kind of work . Career progression and skill development have no scope. If you try to learn on your own and try to do something you are not experienced in you are immediately told that this is not part of your job duty and there is another group responsible for that.

Great benefits and company culture, frequent opportunities to interface with senior leaders and executives.

Pros

Solid steady company, generally nice people and it can help people advance if they so choose.

Cons

Privately owned, so many decisions are made arbitrarily, not always having to be vetted properly. Globally, decisions would be made that would not be in the best interests of the US market. Also, if you're an internal employee, it could be difficult to be promoted/advance within the company. You get stuck with new duties, but no new titles/pay.
