Pros

Decent pay, good training for safety, nice people, good to work for fresh out, company seems to care only the fresh out

Cons

No more technology projects, all about process and procedures, lack of leadership, management cannot decide, 6% matching for 401K, too diversified (have to transfer many due to visas in the middle of the projects) over engineered, no training after 5 years, toomany junior manager who lacks leadership and knowledge, short sighted, new engineers want to be managers after 3 years of work only

Pros

Good people at the local level. The work is engaging and challenging.

Cons

Too many to count. Career advancements are extremely limited. Pay raises are minimal and don't get close to keeping up with inflation even for top performers. At the corporate level they are using acquisitions to hide massive layoffs. They return billions in profit to investors consistently, but there is still a constant threat of layoffs and multiyear freezes on pay raises even with inflation and solid corporate profit.
