Pros

By the end of the year you end up making very good money in comparison to other engineers in other industries.

Cons

You’re hardly an engineer more like an oil field technician despite being paid less than people with less responsibilities. The coworkers can be toxic and feel like you need to share their misery in order for them to respect you. The company suddenly decided that they want to pay you less before you’re even about to get promoted. Big egos everywhere who talk about lack of leadership but aren’t anywhere near a good model themselves.

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.
