Pros

Good benefits. An easy place to sit around and earn a paycheck without really contributing too much. The "Learning Together" program that provides the capability to further education is awesome. If you make a mistake, well, you'll get another chance almost guaranteed.

Cons

Not challenging. Management is poor at best and flat out lies to its employees. It's difficult to move up if under the age of 40. There are a ton of incompetent people who hold senior engineering and management positions. Inept people are put to the side instead of removed. It is a good old boys club that rewards its own and takes care of them. Directors commonly encourage the lower-level managers to play political games instead of solving problems.

There are double standards about how people are treated. People routinely ignore you when they don't like the answers they hear.

Advice to Management

Tell the truth. Promote based upon proven accomplishments and stop playing games.
