Pros

Engineering centric workplace. Enough work to keep you busy. To get challenging work, have to be in right group, under right person. Work life balance is neutral. Gym facility is good.

Cons

Same as any big company, your visibility is limited. No designated Paid time off limit. Needs too many approval for getting long paid time off. Mostly paid time off doesn't get used.
