Pluspunten

The experience - they usually use the latest in software and manufacturing tools. There are usually excellent training resources available, even funded. The mostly cubicle office spaces, facilities and cafeteria are usually clean and decent. One can visit the major assembly and flightline areas without too much trouble to observe aircraft being built. There are some good folks in senior or knowledge positions, but you may have to discover who they are for yourself. I made some good friends there - most of my coworkers were pretty decent folks.

Minpunten

Typical large company politics, cronyism and nepotism. Corporate guidelines for ethical conduct appear to exist for legal reasons only - you're pretty much at the mercy of your supervisor. Sometimes you get lucky, but if you're not, you may have no choice but to quit. When I was there I saw some peers to do virtually nothing yet maintain their job or even advance while honest worker bees got meaningless trinkets and toys for their efforts. It was often a training ground for junior level employees who'd quit once they had enough experience to go elsewhere. One could be transferred to locations, distant commutes from their residence without consideration. You might wind up training your replacement - in Russia.

Pluspunten

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

Minpunten

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.
