Pros

First few years might be exciting thinking you will be delivering exciting technologies

Cons

More than just political, the culture is back stabbing to the core. Ever ever why all there projects are DECADES late on a five year plan? The managers fight to make others look worse than them to deflect the heat for themselves being late, and invest little energy on the business objectives of delivery to the customer. Many have no moral boundaries on how low they will stoop.

Pros

Amazing opportunities - if you get lucky Great work life balance, but that seems to be changing If you work hard to find the right position, you will learn things here you can't learn anywhere else (if you don't, you will kill your entire career/or delay it severely) Great if you go in mid to late career with knowledge on how to navigate corporate structure. The absolute worst thing you can do straight out of college for the most part.

Cons

- Culture is moving away from hybrid work and work life balance, turning into hustle culture if you want to maintain job security and have the decent projects - Management and HR is among the worst I have seen in any company - Many times due to HR primarily management secondarily, the smart people are placed in the most humdrum least beneficial positions for their talents, and the less driven but typically from a background of privilege people are placed in the most research heavy positions that the more driven people would enjoy more and be more productive in - Politics here are insane; a few privileged people with over inflated egos and knowledge that does not match the size of their egos tend to control the keys to the make or break career projects. If you aren't in the in crowd, your career is dead in the water here. - pay is well below industry standards (non defense, they only count defense to justify their suppression), large culture of suppressing pay and benefits in the sake of 'efficiency' unless it comes to their executives
