Pros

Every job you can think of across the globe. Pays for education opportunities. Great company to work for if you’re a conservative cis white male with a technical background.

Cons

Continuous layoff cycles, especially for baby boomers with 30+ years of tenure. Outsourcing strategy to find cheapest labor sources and avoid paying taxes while execs take it in with exorbitant salaries, bonuses, and stock options. Incredibly risk averse, bureaucratic, slow to evolve, and lacks transparency. Lacks diversity, especially in leadership. The diversity that is present often has to conform to traditional leadership values dictated by outdated management styles. Hierarchical structure (may be a plus for some).

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.
