Pros

Redmond location is nice, building overlooks a valley with a golf course and walking trails.

Cons

Verbal assaults from management when you try to tell them that complex electronics for aircraft requires detailed testing and analysis. Arrogant managers who try to get engineers to agree that work can be done in half the time we tell them because they don't understand the complexity of their own products, then insult the engineers when the project is over budget. Really, it's so pathetic. Places like this are the reason that Dilbert cartoons exist.

Pros

Benefits Work life balance You can listen to music or videos while you work Good team building events Good Segway into other departments in the company but it is VERY competitive

Cons

The job itself is not hard but it is monotonous, I can see it being a good first job for someone starting their career. Management is fine but they have a "it will be fine" attitude instead of really taking in the opinions of the people who actually do the work when implementing changes. Your pay will suck and expect a barely 3% raise every year.
