Pros

-Good international work opportunities/exposure. -Benefits are middle of the road. (Insurance rate is good, but no 401k match) -Local (US based) management is willing to support employees as much as they can and will put in the work to get the job done

Cons

-Bad company culture, hard to say many employees enjoy coming to work everyday. -Engineering quality is not a priority to management. Only schedule and cost. -A lot of reviews mention good work life balance, this is not true for technical positions. Be prepared to work extra hours and weekends. -Constant fear of layoffs within the workforce

Pros

Decent starting salary, good benefits, generous PTO

Cons

1% raises forever. Last promotion I got to Principal had no raise but a bump in bonus percentage. Now they are giving kids 8-12% raises and they have less than 5 yrs. Once you hit about 5 yrs you will get the 1% a yr and be pigeon holed into a specific job. Then good luck trying to change.
